Lockout!!!

Sure most of you heard that Stern and a couple of other FO people directly working on this lock out are meeting with Billy Hunter & D Fish tomorrow, trying to find a link but I think I heard it from Locke on my drive home yesterday.

Breaking news...
Fisher just requested the meeting be moved so he'll be closer to his daughter's doctors - just in case there's an emergency.

But his daughter's doctors are in NY and that is where the meeting is, that son of a....

Well my guess is it's moved to London as the flight times aren't that far off (if they took the Concord)
 
...rumor has it...Sterns is now wanting cutbacks on salary that will only pay the players about 1/4 of what they were making! EXCELLENT!
 
While I really want to see NBA basketball this season, I would much rather the two sides comes to an agreement that makes for more competitive and balanced basketball. I'm tired of big markets having a huge advantage, tired of stars joining up, tired of Gilbert Arenas making too much money, tired of guaranteed contracts and bird rights, tired of seeing the same teams play on TNT all the time, etc.

I want to watch basketball, but I want it to be good basketball.

Your absolutely right. It seems like big name players are controlling the league, and big market teams are set up to succeed while smaller markets are set up for failure. I miss basketball as much as anyone, but I would rather have no basketball than bad/unfair basketball. Hopefully when they return players are going to have to come back and want to win for something other than the money. Maybe the love of the game perhaps?
 
I really believe Evans will end up being a 3 if he's to make any sort of impact in the league, and due to logjam, Millsap might have to find himself there as well. If those two can make that transition, splitting the time at the 3 between Millsap, Evans, and Hayward gives you a lot of options.
 
Dwill still trains at P3. That's a good sign that the company is actually legit that a player still goes there after leaving the Jazz.

Found this article this morning, don't know how credible this guy is, but it's nice to finally see some optimism.

Yeah, I have been reading stories here and there of people being a little more optimistic lately, hope that continues.

Interesting today Sheridan is talking about the owners want to add a 3rd round in the draft as well as change up the order in the 2nd and third, but the editor missed a typo that or I'm miss-reading it.

Guess I'll cut & paste some of it in here directly related to proposed changes:
Under one proposal, the 15 teams with the worst records would continue to pick 1st through 15th, but then would also have the 16th through 30th picks. The teams with the top 15 records would have the first 15 picks of the second round, then would have the 44th through 60th picks, too. Under this proposal, the Chicago Bulls (whose 62-20 record was the league’s best last season) would have the 45th and 60th picks instead of the 30th and 30th picks. The Minnesota Timberwolves, who had the NBA’s worst record (17-65), would have their lottery pick and the 16th pick, but would no longer have the first pick of the second round — No. 31 overall.

_ Under another proposal, the teams with the eight worst records would get an additional first round pick, beginning with selection No. 22, and the teams with the eight best records would have no first-round picks but would select at the top of the second round (picks 31 through 38), then also would get the final eight picks of the second round.
