What exactly did the lockout solve?

There were lots of criticism towards the league for lack of parity and overpaying the players, and how the lockout would fix things by bringing a hard cap, salary rollbacks, franchise tag, etc.


What exactly has changed from June of 2011 to December 2012? We still have $100 million payroll teams in the Lakers with 4 fucking stars on 1 team, James Harden, DeAndre Jordan getting overpaid like hell and there's maybe only 3 teams that can win it all: Miami, OKC and San Antonio.

Howard left Orlando, Paul left New Orleans, then it'll be guys like Aldridge and Love heading to Boston and LA.

lockout didnt do shit, when the jew wanted high scoring games

high scoring games = scrubs statpadding = them gettin better contracts in the future = misleading over evaluating real value of the scrub

Gotta put the Clippers, Memphis and both NY teams and maybe Boston, but basketball has always been that way. A lockout can't change that. Most talented teams are the ones that have a chance and everybody else is fucked.
