Signs of labor optimism: Team execs cancelling scouting trips, preparing for free agency. Agents quietly reaching out to teams on players.

I can't wait to see who we bring in free agency-wise and Kemba and Biyombo out there on the court together! I haven't been this hyped for a season in a while, just to see what we have.

Talks have broken down again. Turns out all that progress made yesterday was on most of the big items except the revenue split. Today owners still would not budge from a 50-50 split. Players lowered their demand from 53-47 to 52-48 but would not drop any lower.

Back to the drawing board.

Yep, the Union won't split the difference and the owners won't go all the way up to 2%. The biggest problem is Kessler and player agents. The players would have already dropped down to 51% if it wasn't for those two factors.

I said this from the start, for this deal to get done the Players are going to have to give up a lot. The owners gave up on a hard cap, lowering the MLE, guaranteed salary for players and there isn't going to be a significant raise to the lux tax. The only thing players have given up so far system wise is shorter contracts, smaller raises each season and the drop in overall salary that everyone knew was needed.

This isn't about the owners not wanting to go below 50/50, this is about the players not wanting to actually make any concede anything major that's needed for the NBA as a whole to survive. The salary reduction was going to have to happen no matter what and needs to happen. The BRI split going more in favor of the owners was going to happen. Owners having given up their 3 major points, the BRI split is going to have to go in their favor even more so then was originally assumed.

The only thing left for the deal to get done is for the players to go to 51%, that's it. Hunter left the table and said that the Agents and lawyers wont let me go below 52%. No possibility of a split to 51% ( a difference of 40 million dollars of the total of 4 billion dollars)

If I was the NBA, I'd lock the season out because of that. Demand a hard cap, eliminate guaranteed contracts, lower the MLE to 3 million and demand nothing lower then a 51-49 split. That's where this is going if the players don't move soon.

honestly this isn't that much of a shock....they dick around for a couple months....then on the verge of losing the season they make one "decent" effort, which of course falls short because they haven't been talking seriously for months

      Build up the hope then they kick you in the nuts

      Yeah, if you tune in for any of the remainder of the season you will get what you're asking for. Nobody but yourself to blame. This is a sports franchise of losers, for losers.

      OFFICIAL Week 1: Panthers @ Jaguars Game Day Thread

      By Dragoon11 · Posted

      Here is my take, go ahead and roast me, I'm ok with it, I know where I am. I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet. I will wait until week 4 or 5 before I entertain that option. This game I blame on the coaching staff. Their failure to give reps to the first team during the preseason was reflected in this game. Lets just call this what it is... our preseason warm up game. You could see that the whole team was flat in the first half. Every aspect of the game, the basic fundamentals. Mental errors, missed tackles, timing on routes, they were not ready for this game. Jacksonville is not a great team but you could clearly see their energy level surpassed ours. I do have to give credit to our defense. They did hang in there and kept competing through 4 quarters (minus the 71 yard run). The way our offense played it's a wonder Jacksonville didn't put 40 on us. Positives I saw, (I know, I know), but come on, we still have 16 games. TMAC IS that guy!! Chuba looked good, and overall, our O-line looked good. As bad as Bryce looked at times I do feel like we're a step or two away from connecting with our WR corps. There were plays to be made that were JUST off by a step or two (again, I know). We have talent at WR, we have talent on offense. To me, this game just looked like a team that was not mentally prepared for NFL week one, and less, "oh my god, we're the same old Panthers". Now I get it... a lot of this hinges on Bryce Young and his confidence. If he can erase this and focus on building continuity with these receivers I honestly think we're not going to suck as bad as we did today. XL... IDK, the jury with him is still out, but there is no doubt the kid has mega potential. Our defense, honestly, considering we have a bunch of new guys on that side, they held their own considering the offense could never change the momentum of the game. I am as disappointed as everyone else at another week one poor performance. But I also realize we are STILL rebuilding. Lets just take it week by week right now and see if we have ANY talent that rises to the surface. Because I really do not know what we have talent wise. And that is not just limited to the QB. So, we will see, but I'm not going to call it just yet... just my take. Now fire away! lol

      Officially time to end the Bryce experiment?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Well for one, what other realistic choice is there? Barring a season ending injury, Bryce is the guy for this year. Next year all options are open, but there aren't any other real world solutions for the 2025 season.
