PrintNormally, NBA players would be out and about this time of year, visiting schools, opening playgrounds, etc. But with the lockout still on, it's been up to the coaches and team executives to fill in.
Tuesday at 4 p.m., Doug Overton will tip-off the Nets "Passport to Fitness" program at PNY Center by leading a fitness clinic for 30 kids from Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Wednesday at 9:30 a.m., across the Hudson and East rivers, Bobby Marks will open a refurbished playground at P.S. 9, not far from the Barclays Center construction site. The playground is partly paid for by the Barclays Nets Alliance and developed with Out2Play, which transforms asphalt lots into playspaces. Media has been invited to both.

Bobby Marks is probably too busy writing the new CBA, so that if favors the Nets needs.
Any word on whether the Cap Holds would be mostly or completely dropped?
If they are, then Nets could spend about $25 million in cap space (after Amnesty) and THEN sign Hump to say 7 million, effectively giving Nets over 30 million in cap space.
Orlando could Amnesty Arenas, then trade Howard + Turk for BLopez + Morrow + 2 first rounds + rights to Bojan.
Orlando would be in good cap shape and in full rebuilding mode.
Nets might still be able to sign VC for about $3 million and then could still resign Hump.

Ian Thomsen believes Big Market teams would still benefit from new CBA:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/ian_thomsen/11/06/nba.labor.deadline/index.html :
If the best players are suddenly prohibited from fishing for extra salary from the bigger markets, and they realize their NBA paycheck is limited no matter where they choose to play, then guess where they’re going to go? They’re going to seek employment with large-market franchises like the Knicks, the Lakers, the Bulls or the Mavericks, because those markets will offer superior earning opportunities off the court.
Too bad he is too biased not to mention the soon to be Brooklyn Nets.
Not only would the new CBA rules make it unlikely for DWill to leave, it would make it more likely for Howard to come to the Brooklyn Nets, vs. the LA Lakers.
With no S&T with tax paying Lakers possible and no Extend and Trade possible, DH12 either stays with Orlando, or pushes for trade to Nets and DWill.
Howard would forfeit his 19.5 million extension year, but as long as he stays healthy, he would make up the difference by playing in the Big Market, NYC area. By teaming with DWill, 50% of Nets games would be televised. Howard would be #1 in the NBA in endorsement money.

Some of the things I said above are now a seperate Post from NI.
I guess if more people had read and commented, they would have learned about the future.
