Wow I can’t believe people are still bitter about LeBron. Yet last season was one of the most watched! I guess it’s true. There is no such thing as bad publicity for a mega star athlete such as “Bron Bron”. Btw not really a huge LeBron fan but I strongly believe that anyone that goes out of their way to hate on him is very much so still on his jock strap!!

Noooooo !!!!!!!

Say it isn’t so. Please tell me they aren’t going to settle this thing.

I am still holding out hope the lawyers will let Bron-Bron and the rest of these overpaid, overhyped, tattoed, bling bearing egomaniacs back into the negotiatiing room thereby ensuring there will be no NBA season.

Please, please, please, just let the players decertify the union and let the courts handle it. That would end any possibility of an NBA season this year and maybe longer.

What a wonderful dream that would be… NO BRON-BRON FOR A YEAR OR MORE !!!

This is what the NBA should do every year – November and early December basketball is absolutely worthless. Usually the players look completely disinterested, and the insanely long seasons lead to a lot of injuries, especially to guys like Manu and Duncan who have deep playoff runs nearly every year. Christmas day is a perfect time to start – college football is nearly over, and the NBA starts grabbing attention on the NFL’s off days.

The players should not take a bad deal when the problem lies within the teams. The league has too many bad general managers who make too many terrible draft picks, trades and give out way too many bad contracts. Is it really Gilbert Arenas fault he played 10 games then opted out of his contract and Ernie Grunfield gives him a 7 year 140 million dollar contract during a summer of knee surgery and rehab. Who decided to give Rashard Lewis a 7 year 126 million dollar contract to sign in Orlando? I cannot be mad at the players for taking more money than they are worth. The problem is the general manager who offer these contracts and the owners who agree to pay out money they do not have. David Stern wants to contract teams because some of them are not profitable but he was the idiot who decide to expand the league. Stern is such a liar and we no longer believe you dude. Stern should be fired also for lying in public as he reads his prepared statements. I am comfortable with the notion of no NBA games this year because I am a Laker fan and they have one of those idiot general manager I despise by the name of Mitch Kupchak. This guy has the Lakers paying Luke Walton 6 million dollars each of the next two years and that says enough.

Great. Our options are no season, or a highly-condensed season of sloppy, tired play and a higher chance of major injuries.

Im with you, I was actually pleased with this news. They need to get something done, NCAA basketball is ok, but its not the real thing.

I would GLADLY trade every gift this Christmas for an NBA season. I am really starting to hurt here.
