    Fuck this lockout. I just want to watch my Jazz play during the cold winter months.

    We need to be breaking in Derrick Favors, & Enes Kanter. I've also read that Al Jefferson has been working out like crazy this off-season and is already in better shape than he was last year. Writer of the article I read said that fans will "immediately notice a difference in his conditioning." Now if only they could get together with the coaching staff so Al could work on his defense...

    Maybe this will give Okur some time to finally get back to a healthy standard and be able to play more than 13 games? :roll:

    Al "I never committed a foul" Jefferson? :lol:

    Is Okur still on the team? :? :shock:

    and finally, if you have a heart, the chris herren thing will make you bawl.

    :lol: Everytime he gets called for a foul he throws on that "What? ME?!" look.

    Currently, Okur is active (used loosely, the guy hasn't played more than 20 games with us since his injury in Spring of 2010) on our roster. I can see him being on borrowed time with Utah though.

    Oh great, potential water works tonight. :lol:

    Players don't have much leverage in my opinion. They'd be wise to take 50-50 if the owners are still willing to offer that at this point. They've been talking about a "fair deal" and as far as the revenue sharing, that looks pretty damn fair to me.

    they have lots of leverage..no games = no money for owners

    there was an article about bri on espn a while back suggesting the players are 100% responsible for it, and thus deserve a bigger slice. i can see that

    either way, i don't care...just give me some damn d rose already

    in most cases, the owners have plenty of other revenue streams.

    This. Let the players go play in Europe, China, wherever, it won't compare to the treatment they get in the NBA. At 50-50, I think they'd be cashing in better than they would in their other options.

    Or, they could just start their own league. :lol: :roll:

    So what do you ya'll think? Did Fisher do some dealing with D. Stern behind the scenes?

    I went to Miami 2 weeks back and drove past the American Airlines Arena and it gave me goosebumps thinking about my Mavs winning on their floor. Hopefully the Heat don't make it even that far this year, I'm pulling for the Bulls in the East.

    i think this threat of decertification will turn the tide ...

    that's been floating around for some time...should have done it right away if they were going to do it. it does sound like some players are getting antsy, which of course plays right into the owners hands.

    i read an article on the tribune today that said owners could come up to 51% of BRI. if they do, the players have to drop from 52% and a do a deal. IMO of course.

    well ... it's not something you can really bluff with ... if they decertify - it'll get super ugly and the lawyers are gonna make a killing ...

    imo ... the owners have already won at 52.5% ... players should forward a take it or leave it deal ... then decert if owners reject ...
  • 8181 Posts: 58,276
    if they decertify....the season is toast....

    i still have hope...it's not like they are miles apart on anything anymore. it's all realatively close.

    players shouldn't move from 52.5 ... it's all on stern tho ... i can see him letting his ego get in the way ...

    sounds like the union is pretty divided.....seems like some want the deal, and others don't. perhaps billy and fisher need to send the proposals to the players to see what they think instead sitting around with a thumb up their ass.
