Congrats on a well written article. Kurt Hekin take notes. Could you please permanently replace Helin as the NBA columnist? He is a disgrace.

I don’t think the articles are the same at all.

But simple things seem to get by you.

This article points out that Deron Williams has leverage that many other NBA players do not. What it did not say that it could say is that he’s under contract to a desperate owner that is going to get screwed by these NBA players and by the league, because he doesn’t understand that you can’t just throw money at people, you have to have some savvy – including a plan on how to build a foundation to support these big name free agents he intends to bring in might be a nice thing to do (Dolan and the Knicks have the offensive free agents, but tey fired the guy that was their only hope to build a support foundation….good luck New Your City area basketball fans).

The Nets billionaire owner looks like a rich kid out for the night in daddys Bentley looking for the best drugs and prostitutes he can buy. I believe that there is a very good chance that the Nets owner winds up holding the bag after this lockout is over. He is diametrically opposed to the sort of CBA that the majority of the owners in the NBA want and will not ratify until they get it.

This article is pretty much exactly what I posted as a comment on the last one. You disagreed there and tried to bash the average NBA fan and the writer of the article, yet you find this one interesting? Silly guy

A much better article on NBA players going overseas then the previous one.

All this is interesting, This situation reminds me of the real estate market 4-5 years ago. It was a bubble waiting to be burst, while people in the industry got all they could out of it and kept telling the bagholders that all was well and the best was yet to come.

For sure the 2011-12 season will not be played. How much of the 2012-13 season will (if any) is at issue.

I think when most people that post here see the ultimate CBA, they’re going to be astonished.

And when that happens and sanity returns, only then will so many here realize how totally out of control the NBA is today and how the league continuing to move in that direction would have led to a total calamity.
