The NBA as a league is screwed unless the players decide to be nice and take a pay cut of around 500 million, or the league and team owners decide that cutting 10 teams is in the best interest of the sport if the players want to make more money for less then any other professional sport.

That is all, so it isn't happening. At least any time soon it isn't.

I've honestly come to the conclusion that there is a 80% (probably higher) chance there isn't a season.

So have I, I actually wouldn't be surprised if off season stuff for next year is in jeopardy here. They are really far apart and the players will have to either take a hard cap and a 200-300 million pay cut or just plain out lower the soft cap limits and take a pay cut of around 500 - 750 million.

I think that's what it's going to take to get the NBA back up and running with longevity in mind. NBA players make way too damn much money for what they do, so I'm not really heartbroken over them losing 500 million a season at all.

What is keeping a 3rd party of investors(would take a ton of money i know) from making a new Basketball association, and attempting to take all the talent? The players do not get paid in the event of a lockout right? If not that would essentially void any contract said player had with a team, freeing them up to play in another league. That was the player association could wash their hands of the NBA and move on.

Keep in mind this is a very very rough idea, i havent spent a ton of time thinking it through.

Depends on when the players start and stop getting paid by the teams and how the NBAPA and the NBA itself have that set up. Also depends on a players contract as well.

For instance if player A started getting paid in October after the first season and decided to join this other league, then he would be breaching his contract. The team's obligation to pay him hasn't started so they wouldn't be breaching the contract.

    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
    • really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.     
    • wow i absolutely LOVED watching that.   will watch again...and again...and again.
