darin3 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Well, several factors at play here; first, the fact that the country's most popular sport - by a country mile - is also in a lockout state, and has been for 100+ days with little wiggle room left, time-wise. Next, things tend to get done closer to the eleventh hour by nature, and despite the NBA union and its owners literally being in a state of negotiations for the past year and a half, they're nowhere near a deal. And third/last, it really looks bad for the NBA. The vast majority of their teams are losing money by the bucketload, and true NBA fans realize this and are strapping down for a potential non-season. Personally, I think they'll get a deal done but may have a shortened season, as they did a few years back. Contraction is also quite possible, with other major changes also a potentiality.

bpwallace49 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I am just surprised that no NBA players have been arrested yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. Apparently Rashard Lewis "earns" $20 million a year, which has to be the definition of insane when Kobe Bryant gets $24 million. The economics of the NBA are totally in the crapper with 24 of the 30 teams losing money, some at an alarming rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
