The NBA Lockout is Officially Over! Details to come!

NBA Lockout Update

The NBA Lockout continues. After another meeting, the players and the owners still have not reached an agreement. It is quite possible that there may not be a 2011-2012 season.

Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant both have filed lawsuits against the league, stating they left them no choice. The players are suing for triple the $2 billion they would have received for an entire season, claiming antitrust violations and that the league is preventing them from playing in their short NBA careers. NBA spokesperson, Tim Frank said, "They warned us from the early days of these negotiations that they would sue us if we didn’t satisfy them at the bargaining table, and they appear to have followed through on their threats." Attorney David Boies, for the players, said the case could take months, but hopes that things will be resolved sooner.

The players were willing to compromise and take the deal but the owners still wanted a bigger cut. The major problem in this situation, is greed and selfishness.

As, Dwayne Wade stated in an interview, What about the families of the employees who are out of work? Meaning the employes who work at the arenas. Is anyone thinking about them?

We hope that they can come to some sort of an agreement soon.

NBA Lockout

I'm sure you have heard about the NBA Lockout. Well, the NBA officials announced the postponement of training camp and has cancelled 43 preseason games so far.

Kobe is contemplating playing in Italy for 2.5 million between October 9-November 16. Which would be 10 games for him.

My Thoughts:

I hate that we will be shorted 43 games. I hope that they can come to some sort of an agreement soon. I understand everyone wants their share, but we as fans deserve a bit more than that. There wouldn't be anything to argue over if the fans stopped purchasing tickets and team gear. Everyone needs to stop being selfish. I'm sure there is plenty of money to go around.

Concerning Kobe and whomever else that is thinking about playing elsewhere, I say, go for it. Take care of your business.
