It’s small-market teams vs. big-market teams really. I think for the small market teams to survive the NBA needs a hard cap like in the NHL. Since many NBA owners are also NHL owners, this lockout could go the full season or longer. The owners, whether they’re dual or not, saw that and learned a lot. The NHL has been flourishing since its lockout, and I think the NBA owners want and expect the same outcome. The owners are willing to wait. It doesn’t look good for the players.

Many of us never want to see NBA basketball again so everyone is an over statement!

Players should have taken the 50/50 deal, at this point even with the old deal they wouldn’t recoup a lost season of wages.
