Bad deals like Joe Johnson don’t matter. Teams are tied to 57% of revenue. If the total spent is less than 57%, then a bonus is paid to the players. Cuban has nothing to do with it. The league agreed to a bad deal the last time around.

Congrats on being the first person to blame LeBron for this. The players aren’t asking for more money, the owners are asking for more money. No one is forcing them to give the Joe Johnson’s of the world max deals, but somehow its just keeps happening. If you want to blame someone, blame Mark Cuban. His free spending has driven up costs.

This NBA lockout is not going to go away soon.
Bosh and James walking on max deals to “play together” and win “not two, not three not four or five” rings
is really messing up any leverage the players may have thought they had where money is concerned because those two sent the word out that “it’s not about the money”.
Well, if it’s not about the money fella’s, what’s the problem?

i personally think this BRI is a bunch of BS made up by someone.Iv never heard about it EVER until a few weeks ago..id bet it was made up by a players agent because it sounds like it favors the players….i believe that the NBA owners lost money just by looking at all he below average-average players making to much money then they should i.e Anderson Varejo from the Cavs
