Potential NBA lockout makes the NFL lockout look like child's play.
Holy shit.

Something has to give. Don't most teams lose money and some of them ALOT of money? It's not like they have a sweet deal between the major networks shelling out billions for the NFL rights.

If an NBA regular season game is cancelled in the forest will anyone notice?

Yeah, and they've opened the books from what I understand. It's not like players can say, "You're lying." From what I've heard there's quite a few owners that are going to say they can't even do business the way things are now.

As I undersatnd it, NBA players are in a better position to hold out on this lockout than thier NFL counterparts, because they will still get paid through the middle of what would have been the next NBA season.

Now, is the NBA those tall black men who play with hoops or the short Latinos in the tight pants who carry the sticks?

Fortunately, NBA players seem like intelligent, well-educated men. I'm sure they have made wise decisions with their money, so their financial houses should all be in order.
They are more than capable of missing a year's worth of paychecks and could likely make as much or more in other fields.

The guaranteed deals in the NBA can be a killer. You get a guy making 10MM sitting on the bench and not even playing a minute a game.
A system where a player is coveted in a trade, not because he plays, but because he has a stupid deal that expires next year is messed up. |

Most of them made more in a few years in the NBA than most players make in an NFL career.
