Paul No-Trade About the NBA Being too Big
The NBA disallowing the Chris Paul trade to the Los Angeles Lakers might have set a dangerous precedent and renewed the calls for David Stern to retire, but the bottom line, a problem which will have to be rectified at some point, is the NBA simply has too many teams.

Occupy – NBA Lockout Edition
The NBA Lockout has reached another crucial stage, as David Stern’s ultimatum has been met with another NO DEAL from the players, which makes the Wednesday, 5PM deadline a way-point with very grim possibilities, including cancelling the season.

The NBA Lockout Nightmare – Month 5 and Counting
From hope to despair, from 53 to 47, from BRI to age limits, two years in college, hard caps and flex caps. And that’s not all. But after so many words, after a growing sense of optimism that blew up in everyone’s faces this week when Billy Hunter turned the latest offer down, the bottom line is that we’re over four months into the NBA lockout.

NBA Lockout Still Nowhere Near Ending
One more week, 30 hours of negotiations, this time with a federal mediator George Cohen, with and without sick David Stern, and still, the NBA players and owners seem hundreds of millions of dollars apart, and more of the season getting cancelled is now in jeopardy.

First Two Weeks of 2011-2012 NBA Season Cancelled
Another deadline not met, and here we are. One hundernd NBA games cancelled, no basketball of the first two “planned” NBA weeks, and David Stern saying there was a significant gulf on virtually all issues.

The ABC’s of the NBA Lockout

No Hope of a Full NBA Season in 2011-2012
Nearly three months, and we’re still in the NBA lockout. Thursday labor talks between the owners and the NBA Players union didn’t get them and us anywhere, with too much dollars, percentages and other matters that just can’t be agreed upon.

Six Hours of Talks Don’t Bring NBA Lockout End any Closer
Well, Six hours later, and we’re still in the middle of the NBA lockout. Not that I expected David Stern, Adam Silver and Derek Fisher to fix everything and give up on billions of dollars in six hours. But still, at least according to what they’re saying or probably what they’re not saying, we’re not any closer to end the work dispute and get the 2011-2012 NBA season going.

Kevin Durant Makes Street Ball Interesting While David Stern Gets Angry
Kevin Durant scored 66 point. John Lucas III scores 60 the day after, while Durant scored 41 points. Who cares?!!! With the NFL making a rapid wake from lockout slumber, especially the Eagles signing anything and anyone that costs a bit of money. Baseball? I never really cared much for Baseball, not too much. So while the only good thing regarding the NBA is the owners and players actually meeting (with no love between the two sides), I guess some summer games in New York can actually be regarded as news.

The New and Improved NBA Lockout is Now in Effect
All roads were leading to this point, but not the owners, the players and the league did enough to stop it from happening. For the first time since 1998, the NBA has entered a lockout period and a very unknown future.
