The players have already given up $3 billion over the next 10 years. I would hope that wipes away most of the "losses" the owners are claiming. And maybe if the league hadn't negotiated such a bad TV deal before, they'd be making more money. But I guess that's the players fault.

Furthermore, couldn't some of the loss issues be taken care of with revenue sharing from one team to another, like the NFL does?  Why don't the Knicks and Lakers give up some of their profits to the teams that are "losing" money?

Or I could relay what a former player said to one of the owners about a decade ago.

I guess Michael Jordan has a different opinion now that he's on the other side of the table.

"[COLOR=#000000]Those fields, which are similarly based on the talent and popularity of the content-providers, pay less than 20% of gross revenues to even the most popular contributors. So for the NBA players to get 50% of gross revenue is awfully fortuitous to begin with."[/COLOR]
