All lockout news goes in this thread.

[Grand Concourse]

Gonna suck for teams to have to pay players to do nothing for a whole year. Now whether it seems the Knicks were justified in trading for Anthony than to wait for after the season is debatable, but I guess Anthony might've stayed in Denver for the guaranteed paycheck.

I just don't think David Stern and the NBA Owners are that dumb like the NHL did with their work stoppage in the '04-'05 season to wipe out a season.

In end (just a guess)the lockout will end around January IMO(just like in 1998-'99 season)playing only a 45-50 game regular season. NBA players union are not the MLBPA and will beg to return. Unlike the stupid recent NFL lockout, there are some NBA owners IMO losing money. When the dust settles after at least about 1/3 of the regular season games being cancelled and a NHL type hard salary cap will likely occur after this dispute is over.

I could look like an idiot but my takes.:eek:

The owners want the players to get 47-48% but the players dont want that. I think this season will be wiped out. I give it 0 chance we will see a game on Nov.1st.

I hope the season does not get wiped out bro. I don't feel sorry or care for this dispute between either the bastard Millionarie players and Billionarie Owners here. I feel bad though for the little people such as those ticket takers, hot dog/food vendors, office staff, etc. who will get laid off (lose their jobs) and in this depression woops mega recession to pay their bills/feed their families. Thus they will have hell getting another job.:mad:
