Lastly, for someone so smart, you don't have to login 2-3 times a week, you only have to login, once every 6 weeks. :P

You need to log in after every game, to set up lineups if there are injuries. There is no doubt I am smarter than you.

2nd, the NBA has yet to show any numbers that these teams are losing money.

Y it's really smart to lose games if you have a profitable organization. Let's alianate fans to get even more money, oh wait...
TV contracts are team based. Stations want to create channels based on those teams. With higher taxes the money get's spread to the teams below the cap.
We can't really compare 9bil (NFL) and 4bil (NBA) markets, can we? Split of BRI at 50-50 would bring all teams to profit. It's really funny how people still think that players can win here. Lockout lasts, all employees (including players) and everyone related to NBA games lose money. Most of the owners do not lose money (8 of them prolly do). They give up and continue the same CBA, most of the owners start losing money again. The longer the lockout the more everyone but the owners lose. Even if the players struck a bit better deal than 50-50 BRI later in the lockout, they still have lost a lot of money and that little win will not gain that money back. It's really that simple.

Actually you don't. You can if you want to, but you don't have to. However you do have to login, once every 6 weeks or you will lose your team. You must feel really insecure to have to reiterate to yourself, how much smarter you are, then someone you don't even know.

i think if it ever weas a serious suggestion, now it is a serious discussion about the lockout and i move it in the non bb section.

There is a problem with the owners though. The nonstar players are being overpaid awfully and that isn't on the players. It's on the owners and GMs foolishly giving them those deals.

and would this change? i believe the minimum contracts aren't discussed that much, if even.

ok it will change, cause the CBA would be created in a situation where the local TV deals most likely will raise, cause they are ridicouulus low at the moment and they expected tpo raise around 33% even in short term. Which is probadly more the owners then the players fault, but might be there way to a lot of money when ignoring that in the cba(it comes back in some way, but it makes the fansy loosing numbers even more ridicolous). Ok this contract might drop through the lockout again, but till now the owners agreed only in some things who are already here while the players accepted lot of new and disadvantegeous stuff for them.

this exactly like that guy that said he wants more benefit from becoming a supporter, like more money in the game, and stuff like that.

That luxury tax should be even higher(richer doesn't make you better or smarter). We wanna see competition, not some over payed jocks playing like 10$ whores(just like King Chokes). I said it before, and i'll do it again. To me, this lockout is senseless stupidity, to see them arguing about tens of millions of dollars(that they all can afford easily), is just awful. my opinion only:)
