union's conference coming : http://www.nba.com/home/live1/
Rondo with grandma's eyeglasses
DENIEDDDD... straight to the courts!
Now the hits the fan... lawsuits tomorrow?
Decertification here we come.
Now it becomes all lawyer-esque... oh, well... good luck to both sides.
aww soo all those players with millions in the bank get to go home poor guys
Thank you for essentially cancelling season. After a year of withdrawal (from NBA basketball), I will be cured of my addiction and never have to watch it again.
They should have to share with the millions of citizens whose careers depend on an NBA season. Such bull .![]()
Why are the system issues such a hassle? Players are guaranteed 50% of BRI, and no system changes could affect that. Why would the players' union care so much which players get how much of that 50%?
Really ^? How are people mad at the players? If the owners negotiate we have a season. Still can btw.
F*ck the owners. They got their 50% and they were about to get a lot of sytem issues in their favor. They just had to agree on 2 or 3 system issues
They felt they could have even more and made almost no concession. No way the players could have agreed to take it this hard because the owners would have continued the same way for the next CBA in 6 years
There's nobody to negotiate with anymore. The Union no longer represents the players dude.
And btw, lol at Rondo glasses. He looked like Steve Urkel
Well, we get to see the 'void-contracts' theory in action, I guess...
The union can re-convene eventually. That's what happened with the NFL.
I'm mad at owners that refuse to allow a season in their tax-funded stadiums. I'm mad at players because they feel cheated about getting paid millions of dollars to play basketball in Minnesota or New Orleans. I think we would all be comfortable living in any of the NBA cities for 15 years if it meant we'd make millions.
Both sides obviously have a hand in this... don't forget agents either... but Mel_13 is right that Hunter should've seen this coming, and should've moved earlier towards this.

This is Stern's worst nightmare. Owners could've mildly relented on few system issues, and ended this weeks ago. Now, all breaks loose.

The players hired David Boies, a top anti-trust attorney. He handled NFL claim, and several top cases.
