Possibly On the Verge of A Labor Agreement/NBA Season

Looking at the articles right now, it looks like Stern would be hard pressed to get 16 votes to approve anything higher then a 47-53 split in favor of the owners. Over half the owners are loosing money and since they didn't get the hard cap, they are playing hard ball with David Stern and the players.

It'd be interesting if the NBA folded a bunch of teams.

Would probably hurt the league in the long run though.

I think it would help. There's too many teams and too many bad GMs. Bye bye Sac Kings! Bye bye Toronto Raptors! Bye bye Minnesota Twolves! Bye bye LA Clippers! Bye bye NO Hornets! Thats 60 roster spots that would strengthen the remaining teams with more quality players. No more 1 star per team like it is now, but every team would have at least 2-3. That would help the product more than simply reducing the financial blow when some scrub GM willingly gives out a bad contract.

It is an interesting idea, but I'd be really sad to see the T-wolves go. I understand your general point though. Honestly though that needs to be accompanied by better revenue sharing and I personally think a better salary cap system, but admittedly I haven't been following basketball all that well in the last few years.

If the NBA wants to keep the current system, it would be advantageous to the league to contract many teams for the reasons KT has mentioned. Unfortunately, I think Charlotte would be on that contraction list if it were to happen.

However, if they want to keep as many teams afloat in as many markets as possible, a true hard cap must be instituted.

I absolutely agree with this.

I hope it doesn't come down to contraction because I think Charlotte is on the short list. I just hope Jordan's impact on the league will keep that from happening. Not a good thing on Stern's part to contract the best player to ever play the game's team.

Owners are desperate now. Shouldve never locked the players out to begin with and contracted a few failing businesses. Stern lets anyone become an NBA owner and wonders why so many franchises suck. You cant give slumlords premium real estate and expect them to do right.

Have you read anything at all on the lockout? The owners aren't desperate.. lmao, most of the teams will make more money with out the games going on. The players who aren't the superstars are the ones getting desperate and causing the PA to fall apart and question itself.

On a side note, they offered the Players 51 percent. They made the move to meet the players and the players denied it. Basically a final offer before the season is canceled. I actually don't think MJ and the other owners that are complaining will accept anything lower then a BRI split of 47 - 53 in favor of the owners.

Kessler is back in the room, so a deal wont get done anyways. The NFL and NFLPA had to kick him out of the room to get something done.

I also wouldn't mind contraction, there aren't enough decent to average players in the NBA. The talent is diluted to be honest.

Also Charlotte wouldn't be on the list, just because of the buyout that the NBA would have to pay for the next 30 years on the stadium and lease. Right now the league would have to pay out 150 million to the city of Charlotte, not counting other cost associated with contracting the team.

This is all true - the only thing I fear is that it would be Bye Bye Charlotte Bobcats.

      Anyone know XL’s drop % rate?

      After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA

      But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.

      It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
