How educated were the players on what today's move means? Avg NBA career lasts 4.7 years. One lost year is 21.3% of their NBA careers.

So what will happen with the draft? I've around a bit that they might follow what the NHL did and average out records from the past 3 seasons to sort out the draft order. It would look like this (Credit to a poster on another forum for this)



In other words... Lol Cavs.
Clippers would have Timberwolves' pick.

That would give them Picks 1 and 5 in a supposedly very strong draft.

I bet they're over the ****in' moon.

IF they go into decertification, surely the NBA wouldn't just have a FA free for all?

Maybe a draft of some sort then FA?
Fantasy draft! 15 rounds, snake order, no trades until draft is complete. 30 guys (one from each team), at someone's house, beers and pizza, etc.

ESPN's highest rating program ever?

Lol, that would be awesome. Should only be able to sign 1 yr contracts and just do fantasy drafts every season.

Haha. I imagine if the NBA opens up a new season then all previous contracts will be put back as they were, but the fantasty draft would be unbelievably epic! A five rounder before FA would be good, but 15 rounder would be massive lolz and win.

In b4 Isaih Thomas select Penny Hardaway.

With the first pick in the 2012 NBA Resumption Draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves select... At point guard, out of Indiana... Isiah Thomas.

Contracts will be a year later if we miss the season. Meaning Dwight will be a free agent.

The ironic thing is that the longer this drags on the lower the BRI will actually be. Even if in 5 months they got the extra 2 or 3% the BRI could very well fall by double that if not more meaning the negotiation process will wind up in a net loss for both sides even if the percentages do change or not. Next time the TV rights deal comes up for talk for example the NBA are not going to be in the power position come negotiation time. It will be that way with sponsors too.

Driving everyone away from the sport will lower the BRI more then your trying to negoiate it up by you dumb twats. It isnt about money anymore. Stopped being that way about 2 months ago. Now its all about ego. In a game of ego 1 person might win (Derek Fisher) but hundreds of millions will most likely lose as a result. Hope it was worth it Derek.

I was reading that the legal ramifications could take a long time to settle.

Is there a strong chance that season 2012-13 could be canceled aswell or the NBA fold?
