NBA = STUPID. CBA Negotiations On Hold Until August

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.

    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
