08:06 AM ET 03.22 | This just in: The looming threat of labor strife in the NBA comes down to mistrust over money. The National Basketball Players Association feels that only a "small number" of NBA teams are losing money and continues to say that it is not willing to put a hard salary cap into play when it negotiates a new collective bargaining agreement with the league. NBPA executive director Billy Hunter reiterated his union's stand during a wide-ranging interview with ESPN.com last week at the union's Harlem, N.Y., headquarters. The NBA's collective bargaining agreement with its players expires on June 30. The NBA says more than half its teams are losing money -- more than $300 million a year, it has said -- as it demands sweeping changes to the CBA. Hunter disputed that.

Im sure their is so many loopholes when they count revenue that it is almost impossible to track....So yeah some team might be "breaking even" but then it might not be counting something as simple as concession sales or something like that....(just and example)

Don't fool yourself into thinking this is even true. Its just posturing for the new cba. Now, you know who you shouldn't trust? His picture is up top, and his name is Stern. The most incompetent Commish in pro sports.

Selig is by far worse than Stern...when contraction was last brought up for baseball...he suggested they contract the Twins...who were both winning and profitable...and not the Brewers ...who are close in region...and were losing games and $$...oh and it just so happened that his daughter owner the Brewers...not shady at all...

Totally agreed. If I'm a business owner of any industry I want the bigger stake coz I'm the risk taker. I'm the one who takes the financial hit if a Greg Oden is constantly injured, or a "promising" talent like Grant Hill sits for years on end still fetching a pay cheque. So these people who have never owned much before they got into the league should just shut up and do what they are already paid tons of money to do, play ball not pretend to be accountants.
