Fuck it, bring em in. We might get another banner. There will be some line crossers and scabs, but what the hell ?

It couldn't be any worse could it ? Offer up a chance of a lifetime to D-Leaguers and Euros to come and play.

Actually, the replacement players option was there while the union was locked out. But seeing that there's no union now and there's no more exclusive bargaining, IIRC, teams can discuss and hire talent directly.

There would be no salary-caps, or luxury tax, no guaranteed deals, etc though. It's a full free-market system right at this moment.
Oh, Gee!!

I'd love to see it happen so the league could get sued by ESPN/ABC and TNT.

The NBA players are so screwed. If you believe David Stern, there will be some mansion and ferrari selling fools out there. The deal they thought sucked in 1999 looks pretty darn good now doesn't it ?

The happiest guys today are the wise ones who saved their money or the ones that were close to retirement having built up a nice portfolio.

Oh hell no. You should get a full refund. There should be no season tickets for sloppy seconds.

Fair enough. I bet it would get WNBA-esque attendance at best everywhere but Sacramento though.

Does this mean Allen Iverson and the Professor can end up on the Suns?

Sheesh, even the D-League is going to have a down year in player quality, and there will be only 160 of them.

Could be fun if the prices were at WNBA level. Maybe the only time most could see a game on the floor, anyways.

The whole point of seeing a game on the floor is to see how ridiculous these athletes are close-up though. Floor seats are terrible if you want to watch the spacing, see the passing lanes, and so on. They're great for seeing how strong these guys are, how quick and agile they are, how high they jump, how much they just beat the hell out of each other in the paint, and so on. For any league other than the NBA I'd much rather sit higher up since I know I'm not watching 1 in a million athletes. Even major program Division 1 NCAA ball doesn't have the level of athleticism to make me enjoy floor seats over seats 10-15 rows up.

You could be on to something. Just finish the season with a 45 and older senior league for ex NBA players with at least 5 years experience.

Because, those are the players the owners are counting on to drag the players back in, via a general vote. The stars can hold out for a LONG time, and that's who the owners really need on the court.
