I only feel sorry for the people who work at the arenas and won't have a job this season, very sad. These greedy fuc ks just need to accept the deal and move on. I personally don't care either way. I quit watching the NBA when Jordan, Bird, and Johnson all retired.

This is like hockey season 04-05.

The union chief was a moron and refused to take the deal for the NHL players and then the whole season was canceled. And then the players got a worse offer.

The fact is this time the players and owners had agreed on 50-50 split, or were real, real close to it.

This is just bad. Bad for the most of the players, who are good citizens and bad for cities and bad for the fans, and bad for the responsible owners.

This is one of the worst representations of a player Union base that I have ever seen. I can understand how it happened, because most of the players don't understand the business side of things.

When they hear there player or team rep say "the deals shitty, you don't need to see it. Just trust us"... I can see how they would not turn a cheek. Unfortunately it has cost us a season now. Man I really hope they get better Union heads and reps next year.
