Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 66290, member: 405"] I think most NBA players would love to see this go until January, if they have enough cash to get by. Seems like the football players' union is smarter, having obtained lockout insurance that paid all their members something like $250K if the owners locked them out. That was a huge factor in the rapid settlement of the NFL players lockout - the fact that the guys weren't going to be broke from being financially irresponsible. The NBA union didn't do anything like that for their players, and they have SEEN this movie before. They should have known better. But an extended off season will probably allow a lot of guys to heal up from the wear and tear. [/QUOTE]
