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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
