If you're far apart, why wouldn't you keep trying to negotiate to close the gap at least? What dummies...

You're coming off one of your best seasons as a league since MJ retired (the 2nd time) and you're content with letting the following season completely go to waste.

I'm really starting believe Sir Charles in that we're most likely going to lose this season.

the same thing happened with the nfl and they werent even as far apart as the NBA.

IM not surprised.

Yeah, I can get the "take a break and cool off" angle... But, like you said, the NFL wasn't as far apart as the NBA. I read Hunter from the NBAPA said they were about 4 Billion apart...

WOW.

So, I would think every little bit of talks they could have would benefit them and they would want to do so as soon as possible.

The NBA has a lot more at stake than the NFL did... Fans will always come back to the NFL, I don't think it's the same with the NBA.

The players dont want to play a half a season like they did in '99, so if any time is missed, the whole thing will probably be scrapped. It doesnt bother me as much as the NFL locking out. The NBA as a league needs some humility. The players are already showing them, there's other ways to get money outside of the league. IMO, the players should organize a league of their own here in the states of about 15 teams and play at the beginning of next year. Maybe we can get some good officiating too.

Only problem with that is finding places to play. unless its going to be like andone or outside.

I've thought the same thing... Whether they go play in other leagues or elsewhere, there is money to be had.

Only thing is, as far as the league's stance, I'm all for a hard cap because I think it would be better for the league competition-wise.

Yeah, I'm just kind of relieved were on the verge of having football back and hope the NBA comes back around without losing all of the momentum they gained this past season.

The only way to save the 30+ teams in the NBA is for the owners to dig in and hope the players fold and institute a salary cap. Otherwise there will have to be contraction. The NBA owners don't have the upper hand in these negotiations like the NFL owners do because each of the NBA players seems able to find employment easily overseas.

      Tepper Era Strikes Again!

      By RoaringRiot · Posted

      Short version = these people have had those seats since the beginning and haven't missed a game. They have always had their sign. They had to change the sign - I think in 2015 when Cam ripped that Packers fan's banner down (love him for that, by the way) - to be compliant and haven't had any issues in the last 10 years. The Panthers even used a photo of them and their sign in their album from the Falcons game. In the 3rd quarter last weekend it was decided that the sign needed to come down. Seems weird and unnecessary, especially since it has been there for every game for a decade.   Also "cringe" is a funny word for someone over the age of 18 who lives and overshares on the Huddle. But, ok....

      Thielen was traded away right before our season started. Coker got hurt right before our season started. Renfrow, a player that hasn't played in a while went from cut to being thrust onto the field. Moore, the one vet we did keep, is currently out. Bad things seem to happen trying to throw to XL. Oh, and Tremble was out for a few weeks while Sanders is currently out himself.  Simply starting the fact that we can't even keep a #2 on the field. You're hoping one of the many rookies pulls off a Coker and starts having consistent production.
