This entire “mess” boils down to one thing. The owners can’t control themselves and the players became their pawns (expensive ones at that).
This show is over.
The owners have to make a profit. Period.
The players have to be fairly compensated. Also period.
Both sides have to sit down and give and take until this becomes resolved.
No one can say “I WILL NOT”. The solidarity BS will destroy the negotiations.
Keep moving toward the middle.
50/50 BRI is incredibly fair. Where else can an employee get this?
What I don’t understand is – what is BRI and what is not.

There is lying and there is spinning. We know that David Stern has lied to NBA fans in the past, and because of that I have a problem with his credibility. I don’t know that Billy Hunter has lied to the public. So when there is a disagreement over what was said in a meeting I believe it makes sense to take it all with a grain of salt, but give more credence to Mr. Hunter’s statements then Mr. Stern’s.
