it's not an attempt when you succeed and I did succeed in my prediction. The only reason why you don't have Hunter saying they accept the deal is because if under some work of hell the players vote against it that would make Hunter look bad. I was right and your little desired doomsday scenario of no season has gone to ****. Let there be ball!!!
Well I was technically right the lockout is on its slippery slope to ending. Bare with me and read between the lines. Last offer Billy straight up rejected saying he refuses to present the players with a bad deal, it is his job to only present the NBAPA with an offer he believes is fair. Now he comes out and says he will bring the offer to the players on Monday or Tuesday (pretty ridiculous we gotta wait that long but I'll let it slide since its Veterans Day weekend). Billy is obviously fine with this deal if all he is presenting it to the union (rather than discouraging them from accepting it like the last proposal) I'm 100% certain the players will vote in favor of accepting the deal. You already have reports of Kobe and Fisher being fine with the deal. There are too many midlevel players who just want to get back to bball. The only reason why Billy didn't come out and say straight up that he accepts the deal is just out of being cautious (under the bizarre circumstance that the players vote against the deal) it would surely cost Hunter a lot. Being that desertification is on the horizon if this deal doesn't fall through. So yeah DECEMBER 15TH NBA SEASON STARTS!
Yeah let me clarify that, what I ultimately mean is that once this series of meeting(s) end they will be announcing the end of the lockout not the cancellation of games. You could see it in theirs eyes they were exhausted, thats the only reason why the talks broke off for the night.
I was following Marbury on twitter for about 2 days then I had to unfollow him. He definitely has some personal problems, most of the stuff he post is just ridiculous
I think the owners can get a 51-49 deal in their favor if they just give in to those few system issues that the players want. Then the owners can use that "plus 1%" to create a pension that teaches owners how to make smart moves and not over pay the reshard lewis's of the nba (ha see what I did there I didn't capitalize nba to show that I lack respect for it, Im so clever :p)
"Yo dawg I heard you was having a lockout. So we put a lockout in yo lockout so you can be locked out while yo locked out!"
