What have we learnt.....

[Big Mick]

Since the CBA was ratified:

1) Basketball Reasons
2) Players still dictating terms of trades
3) Stupid mid-level contracts still being too high

In other words...why did we miss 16 Regular Season games to ratify a CBA that is exactly the same and leading to the same outcome?

The NBA is f**ked, the owners are f**ked, the players are f**ked & I'm already over the season and it hasn't even begun haha.

What have you learnt?

Stern is corrupt!

An interesting note that I haven't seen anything other than 1-2 people pick up on...was that they think this is personal between Stern and Paul's management group.

Apparantly Paul's Agents company were acting like they were trying to run the NBA through the negotiations as well as once the CBA was finalised and rubbed Stern the wrong way. They reckon this could be a "shut your mouth and know your place" to Paul's agent.

I'm pretty sure all this has proven is that the lockout was just a money grab by the owners.

Yeah the players are totally innocent. Its all the big, bad owners.

No wonder the small market teams are struggling...these guys just wanna up and leave and tell an owner that unless you trade me Here....then I'm out and you are screwed.
