The NBA Lockout? Still going strong. NBA Players moving to Europe? Not a flood, but a constant drip.

The NBA released its 2011-2012 schedule, with great games like the Chicago Bulls against the Dallas Mavericks to open the season. But right now, it’s more and more likely that the season won’t open on time, or at all. The Lockout looks stronger than ever.
