We vote first. After 135-day lockout, which side u with?

They should summarize all of the issues, put them on paper and let the season ticket holders vote. Majority vote wins.

 

At this stage of negotiation I am leaning more toward the player side.

The players have given the owners 50% and have helped them make up the 300 mil they collectively loose a year and then some.

Owners are being greedy by trying to put a even deeper strangle hold on the options players have in free agency.


I mean really, what small market team was Ron Artest going to save by not going not taking a MLE deal with the Lakers?

The owners being rigid on System issues is just Flat out Greed and a Lust for power.


No matter what the system looks like The are still sending out the same amount of money to player salaries so why not through them a bone on the system and get a deal done.

 

Players.

 

Owners.

Basketball fan FIRST. Player fan second.

 

I support nobody. I know players may not like the offer and feel disrespected, but I understand owners too. I want small market teams to be competitive too

 

Neither.

It's sad and pathetic that neither side is actively trying to make a deal happen.

It's beyond overdue for them to quit trading punches and make a commitment to work with an arbitrator. Cut through the BS and posturing and come to an agreement, if only a one year bridge deal.

 

I'm on a side that gets a season started ASAP.

With that said the Owners are the one who 'locked out' the players. So it is their fault this is happening in the first place.

 

The fans side. I find it quite amusing that millionaires and billionaires are fighting over money especially during this rough economy.

 

If the total amount of players get to actually vote, the players. Then we'll have a season.

 

I'm telling you if the season gets cancelled over these small issues, it's on!!

 

Owners

 

The fans.

 

If it's about money, I am on neither side. Why should I care which wealthy people should make more money?

On the system issues, I'm on the owners side. I wish the owners would give the players more of the BRI money so the players would accept the system changes. But that's not happening and probably won't.

 

anyone who voted owner is clearly the descendant of slave owners

 

Players.

I don't understand how these owners made so much money in their respective businesses, yet are so dumb when it comes to spending on players they need rules to restrict themselves.

 

Although Billy Hunter is a TERRIBLE leader. Players should have decertified beginning of the summer rather than trying to stare down the side with more resources. It doesn't work.

 

Owners, they have done the calculus on what makes the league viable, and all I hear is the players whining about having to give up too much?

They haven't given up anything, they still get paid.....and they are not taking any risk.

The owners deserve to make a profit, all of the teams...got to reset the system.

The old deal was way too favorable for the players.
