The financial beatdown that the owners are going to impose will be almost as entertaining as the sport itself.

Almost.

....it's one of the most fantastic outcomes and paybacks for the low sink of debauchery presently displayed by today's NBA players! Danny Sheridan odds has 50% of the players...ending up wearing "orange jumpsuits" before the lockout ends!

As in, possibly about 80% less money.

Also, how do you force a team to compete in a bidding war? Either you're so good teams compete, or you're not that good, and they don't? The owners are trying to prevent the bidding wars the players have earned by their talent and experience.

If I could pick and choose, right now, I'd compare NBA players to Charlie Sheen. That huge sense of self-entitlement caused him to trip over his ego and fall face first into a fresh humble pie. If the players aren't careful, I think they could end up dining from the same plate.

I would have to throw David Stern in there as well if we are talking about self-entitlement. Stern has not been as PC as he has in the past. He is throwing everything onto the players right now when things could be resolved if the owners gave a little bit back. Personally, I am pro owners but they have gotten more than I thought that they could. They should be happy and get this season going.

Free agents can shop themselves to any team for any price that they are willing to pay short of a max deal from your existing team which can be like you said about 20% higher. However, players complain about not being able to go were they want. Which is incorrect since they could go to any team they wanted (assuming that team was willing to take them and would pay what the player wanted to make). What is interesting is that players want high year deals. If they wanted mobiliy then they should fight for year to year contracts. Then they would have freedom every off season. They dont want that, because they would loose the security of haveing a contract that is set no matter if you are hurt, a huge star, or cant earn your way off the bench.

I just want players to be consistent. Do you want freedom, or do you want longterm contracts.

Yeah, I don't think that makes any sense. Honestly though, I was really just being hyperbolic. My Sheen comparison probably really doesn't apply to the majority of players. Most of them likely know that they're extremely blessed to be where they are. Just the same, I would find it quite satisfying to watch the Charmelo Sheenthonys of the NBA fall flat on their face.

You guys have to pay to get into strip clubs in the USandA? Wait, you guys have strip clubs in Utah?

Of course! Some of them even allow the women to show their WHOLE CALF (but not both calves at the same time).
 
I was in a fraternity whilst at university and one year some American brothers of ours came to visit us. One of them got a lap dance(the girl was buck naked) at a strip club and looked very uncomfortable. I enquired whether it was because he might be shy, but he told me he expected the cops to barge in at any time and arrest him for getting a lap dance. Apparently, they were illegal in their jurisdiction at the time.

So it's not like I'm making fun of the state of Utah alone. ;)

I agree. Too bad those numerous blessed, grateful NBA players didn't get to vote.

Because they would've ratified the deal.

I've heard they've opened up more then just 2 now and I've heard that they've added additions that do not serve alcohol so they can be completely nude (by nude I mean show both calves) or so I've heard.
