Couple things on the lockout
As this goes on, I am increasingly starting to think that the BRI negotiations have nothing to do with the actual percentages. Its more to do with the principal of someone giving in. The players dont want to give in because Billy Hunters legacy is on the line. The owners don't really care and can wait an entire season. I Think this is just plain dumb by Hunter and the NBAPA because now, they are losing more money than its worth to get a 52% split. For me this is all about looking good and not giving in, not about actual money and percentages.
Also, I look at Billy Hunter and read some of things said by players such as Terrence Williams, Javale McGhee and rumors about Fisher's side deal with Stern and think, this guy Hunter is not even a player, all he is concerned about is his rep. He's not the one losing money the longer this thing drags out, its the player who are losing that money. He could care less though as long as he wins the negotiation.
Just have to hope that the Union starts to break down internally at some point and pressure from players starts to get to Hunter.

They All Suck
The lockout sucks. The players are stupid and the owners are too greedy. I should be watching games this weekend. I am pissed at everyone in this drama. AND Kim sucks too, for dumping Kris after only 72 days. Did they go for counseling? Did they meet with clergy?
Did she even consider working things out and trying to save the marriage? She fired him like an unwanted employee. My wife did the same thing to me, after 24 years. They all suck!
