True but they tried to make it seem like it was about competitive balance when really like most things it was a cash grab.

That's part of how they put pressure on the players. They lock the players out then tell the public that the players are being unreasonable and not allowing as system that will create parity.

This was all because Lebron decided to playing Miami :smh:

A lot of GM's are going to be sour when he reups discounted. :lolbron:
Breh I dont think we'll ever see anything like it again.

GM's forming like Voltron trying to prevent any future Decisions. Coaches calling each other up leaving voicemails on how to beat him :wow:

That's part of it but it's not all of it.

It's also an aggressive act against teams like the Lakers, Mavs, and Knicks. Teams that could outspend the smaller market teams and previously not suffer too much from bad contracts.

Yeah works all the time cause people hate to see people with more trying to get more for playing a "game".

It also works because the owners are largely anonymous and the public doesn't know how much they actually make.

A bit off topic but if people REALLY knew how much NFL owners made and how much THEY bankroll shyt they'd be livid.

You just have dumb people running your team.

And a cheap ass owner

So dumb they managed to get it right & draft KD, Russy, Serge, & Harden. I hope Presti stays that dumb when it comes to drafting players. I still don't understand how the owner is cheap when they tried to keep Harden which would have put them in the tax & started the repeater payments. But that shyt will always look bad on the surface I guess.

It's going to affect every team outside of the Knicks, Lakers, & maybe the Nets until the Russian decides he's finished.

Yeah ill agree with anonymous part but the money they make shyt people can't be that stupid or can they. If you can afford to pay cats 100mill would you do that if you not making that plus some unless you a dummy? Not many millionaire/billionaire dummies out there regardless of what some people may think.

Football would be much better if you take away the offensive and defensive lines.

just have a qb, rb, and 3 receivers. Have 5 defenders play man to man against them.

get the fat funkies the entire fukk outta here:camby:

Because the league locked them out. The lockout always hurts the players more than the owners. The top paid players are fine during a lockout but the rookies, journeymen, and vets who don't get paid much are kind of fukked if a lockout goes on for too long.

Then you got the owners leveraging the public against the players.

The only time you will EVER see a players Union flat out win against a league will be when the players unions of multiple leagues and sports unite in solidarity.
