Change the thread le you misleading got
This is nothing to do with what I was saying.
So you want the season canceled so you can get a full refund.well son I only have about 8k invested into my yearly season tickets that I now regret renewing.
I don't buy season tickets. Either way you wouldn't be getting money back, and if there was never a lockout to begin with, you would have spent 8K to watch your team get their pushed in again and still felt cheated. At least now you can say what "could have" been, even though we all know it's a pipe dream.

Players Reject NBA's Offer, Begin to Disband Union

By KEVIN CLARK
In a move that jeopardizes the NBA season, the NBA players union rejected the league's latest offer and said it would begin the process to disband the union.

European Pressphoto Agency NBPA executive director Billy Hunter (right), and NBPA president Derek Fischer (left) speak to reporters following a meeting with player representatives from all 30 teams in which they rejected an offer to the end the current lockout.
Labor talks "completely broke down," said union Executive Director Billy Hunter. The union said it has begun legal proceedings to dissolve the union, a tactic that would take the dispute to the courts.
"The 2011-12 season is now in jeopardy," said NBA Commissioner David Stern.
Journal Community
The decision came after a five-hour meeting among player representatives at a New York City hotel. Mr. Hunter said an anti-trust lawsuit should be filed in the next day or two. Union president Derek Fisher said the idea to dissolve was approved in "unanimous fashion."
Jeffrey Kessler, a union lawyer, said the decision came after the players agreed that "bargaining completely failed" and said the players wanted to assert their an rust rights.
The NBA had yet to comment on the decision, but Mr. Stern said over the weekend that player contracts could become void if there is no union and blamed player-agents for the movement.

Last week, Mr. Stern offered a new proposal that would have a 72-game season start on Dec. 15 but said the owners were done negotiating beyond the offer.
The main sticking point has been how to split the league's $4 billion in revenue. The owners' latest proposal revolves around what is essentially a 50/50 split. The last contract, which expired in July, gave players 57% of the revenue. Other logistical issues like salary cap structure remain unresolved as well.
"The players were not prepared to accept any ultimatums," Mr. Hunter said. "They thought it was extremely unfair."
The lockout also affects Walt Disney Co.'s ESPN and ABC, and Time Warner Inc.'s Turner Sports. Advertisers spent $807 million on NBA games that aired on cable and network TV last season, according to Kantar Media, an ad-tracking unit of WPP PLC.
An average of 2 million people watched regular-season NBA games on ESPN last year, and an average of 2.5 million watched regular-season games on Turner's TNT, according to Nielsen Holdings NV. But ad spending is heavily weighted to the latter portion of the NBA season.
