Just heard more news from my roommates dad (nba ref) that a lockout is more than 50% at happening after next season. Not sure if its been talked about a lot in here lately.
IMO, the NBA owners are stupid. The NBA spent the last lockout degrading their product(the players)publicly and just when the NBA is reaching an all-time high (record TV ratings,record attendance) they will lockout the players again and run theirproduct into the mud.
There does not need to be a fundamental change in the CBA. Adjust thetotal cap on player % of revenue downward. Institute feasible revenuesharing. Reduce contract length to 3/4 years instead of 5/6. Tiecontract raises to the Salary Cap instead of some random %.
An example, Rudy Gay's contract would be a manageable $13million/4 year contract. Year 1 he makes $13 million. Year 2, if theSalary Cap goes up 3%, he gets a raise. If it goes down 3%, he makesless year 2. Both sides share the risk/reward.
Also decrease MAX contracts:
Years 1-7 20%
Years 8-10 25%
Years 11+ 30%
Alsoeliminate the one and done rule. Give HSers 1 guaranteed year with theteam getting 5 option years. Frosh get 2 guaranteed years with the teamgetting 4 option years. Sophs get 2 guaranteed years and team gets 3option years(current system), and upperclassman get 3 guaranteed yearswith team getting one option year.
I came up with that on the Grizz boards a while ago. But, I'm pretty sure of the lockout now because my friend's dad is talking about taking his buyout after next season to ref in college and get his pension which is a nice offer. I'm guessing he doesn't want to wait to see things play out, but Sean Corbin already took the buyout payment. So, if you don't see him next season that'll be why.

From everything I've read, I'm positive there will be a lockout next summer.
New CBA will probably be like the NFL with the hard cap and even franchise tagging. Not something I want to see, but it will make the league more competitive.
