THIS IS ABOUT OWNER VS OWNER
we are going to have the same problems in 7 years if the owners dont deal with each other
I understand that but my point was that the people who employ him aren't going to seek his removal because all that he's done to ruin the NBA in the eyes of the fans has benefited his employers.
Talent dilution, unsustainable markets.. Big market teams are still making money hand over fist, selling out every night and winning championships. Smaller market teams aren't winning but thanks to the new labor deal all of the financial losses of teams that shouldn't even exist will be covered. Even if a select few owners are holding things up by nitpicking, they're a minority. They can't oust the same dude who helped them into existence. I think the most you can see happen is a few teams dissolving if these experiments continually dont work. Like how the NBA owns the Hornets and a prospective owner wanted to move a team back to Vancouver..Let them make their rounds to these markets where nobody wants to play. Hopefully they make it back to Seattle eventually. Theres only so much superstars that each team can afford. The Miami's, NYC's and LA's of the league can only acquire so much and even then there's no guarantee that it works. (See: '04 Pistons, '11 Mavs, Spurs, Rockets etc etc) This lockout was necessary from a business standpoint. It'll all work out in the end.
