They beat the clock and reached a new deal. Too much money was on the line to screw it ip this time. There will officially be no lockout.
I suppose the terms will come out later today. I wonder if anything important even got agreed to. I heard a lot of people predicting the owners would lock the players out for sure just being pissed off about all the trade requests but like I said, I think it was just too much money for either side to want to mess with it during the rights negotiation.

When is a problem not really a problem? When everyone with the power to do something about it is making money. People complain a lot about load management but it's been proven that it in no way hurts the NBA financially so the owners that want their stats healthy in the playoffs and the players that want to be healthy in the playoffs aren't going to fight each other to get rid of something they both want to keep. It's only fans that this matters to. Fans that are still spending their money.
Weed testing and punishment is officially removed. Had me wondering how old Larry Sanders is. And was it weed OJ Mayo got banned over?
Mayo was PED
[QUOTE=warriorfan;14750043]definitely. even though xaiou has a point, it’s all relative. anyone will be bent out of shape when they don’t feel like their performance has been compensated for. it would be difficult for past players to see lesser players be making way more no matter what[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but I think it's more a problem relative to your own era. Jim McIlvaine makes more than you, the go to scorer on a finals team? That's pretty bad. Some 7th man on a 2023 team? I doubt any 80s, 90s or before player is too much bothered by that.
