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.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
