Analysis: NBA owners win lockout, nuclear winter avoided

PLAYERS: David Stern
Analysis: NBA owners win lockout, nuclear winter avoided By Brian T. Smith The Salt Lake Tribune Published Nov 26, 2011 09:45PM MDT NBA Commissioner David Stern’s constant, unyielding blend of threats and ultimatums made an impact. The National Basketball Players Association’s (NBPA) united stand in the face of public scorn commanded respect. Hardline owners, angered agents, and the potential for lost years in the limbo of the court system and $6 billion in antitrust damages contributed to the potential end of the 150-day NBA lockout. But what ultimately erased the inflated rhetoric and eased the entrenched stances of sides... Copyright 2011 The Salt Lake Tribune. All rights reserved.

David Stern predicts owners will support this “tentative agreement” and it's not just because his side won almost all the important concessions. It's also because he has done his homework, including years of gathering their opinions and, for good measure, two conference calls with the league's labor committee during Black Friday’s marathon bargaining session. Having...

NEW YORK -- After nearly two years of bickering, NBA players and owners are back on the same side. "We want to play basketball," commissioner David Stern said. Come Christmas Day, they should be. The sides reached a tentative agreement early Saturday to end the 149-day lockout and hope to begin the delayed season with a marquee tripleheader Dec. 25. Most of a season that...

Heat Dancer Nicole’s NBA Lockout Nightmare Is OVER!

The news is still breaking across the major media outlets, but it’s believed that the NBA lockout (pending ratification from NBA players) is over and games will start on Christmas Day.

NBA Lockout Ends and Players Get Played I understand that, but it didn’t have to be this way. This deal is just all so very pre-Occupy Wall Street.

ASK IRA: How can the NBA compensate for bad owners?

Q: I think I’m starting to understand what this lockout is all about. To me it seems pretty simple now: The NBA over-expanded and can’t support the Charlottes and Minnesotas, but all the parties involved (owners, Stern, players, agents) don’t want to admit contraction is the way to go, so they’re trying to put the losses on each other. Agree? — David. A: I agree, to a...
