They failed to use the last two collective bargaining agreements to their advantage, they spent unwisely, then battled against the players to save the owners from themselves.
But if the 2011-12 NBA season is lost? Then it will...

NBA Players establish leverage with overseas possibilities

But as HoopsHype reports, the economy in Greece makes that a non-starter:
