This best thing for the league is to shut down for the entire year, fix the CBA so small market teams can be competitive and players can still get 55% of BRI and fans can get more affordable tickets so people will actually go to games. This season will be a 66 game disaster.

Do you really entertain any idea that the owners really give a rat**** about the general public? If they did, we wouldn’t have lost any games this year. I think it is the definition of naive to expect owners to act in anything other than their own, short-term interest.
