I honestly just get the feeling that the owners have no intention whatsoever of compromising. They WANT to lose the season. They WANT to crush the players. Which is why I'm on the players side
I agree, the hard line owners really do not like Basketball in general, they are NFLophiles and should have either bought part of an NFL team or used their money to invest in securities. Owning an NBA team should be seen as owning a prestige asset like a yatch or vacation home, it is not meant to be an active revenue stream or at least a vast revenue stream.
They want to make the NBA into the NFL but the difference is cultural and the fact that they play different sports. Basketball is not football but delusional, new owners think it is and that they should make as much as an NFL owner does. They are also about to make the NBA less like the NFL, the NFL is not missing games and the NBA will, I wonder if that will aid or alleviate the owner's complaints about money?
