Stern: We only want to cut...750-800M!!!

Reducing salaries by $750 million from their 2009-10 level of $2.3 billion would represent a 33 percent reduction in pay and benefits. The NBPA is far from accepting that

Two numbers: 2/3rds.....NOT 1/3rd!!! They should cut salaries by 2/3rds! Most NBA players would be basically UNEMPLOYED in today's economy.....and even the ones with college degrees, would be hard pressed to make $100,000 salaries, given the present economic conditions! The owners should play HARD BALL! And while there add it, might as well set rules on jailhouse tats, illegitimate kids, and palming the ball!
 
The players union is going to have a hard time making their point when you have owners offering max contracts to slightly above average players (cough Rudy Gay/ Joe Johnson). They pretty much screwed themselves with that and Stern knows it.
