2011-2012 without the NBA

[Scout200]

Many people are saying that a lockout is inevitable for the 2011-2012 season. What impact will it have on the NBA, players, fans.. and in general, America? Also, if there is a lockout, who would be to blame?

well. there is always the euroleague and college basketball. sucks for the incoming draft class.

ya they'll still get paid tho...won't necessarily affect the draft...

If there's a lockout the players don't get paid ... that's the point of it, the owners are trying to force the players to agree to terms through financial pressure.

there will most definitely be no NBA next season. No doubt about it. That's why the NFL better get their shit together, and Hockey better be ready to step into prime-time.

I'm pretty confident the NBA will have no season next year..it will be like the NHL in 04-05.

Yeah...I heard Mike and Mike talking about this the other day, and they basically summed it up by, "If you think the NFL's labor negotiations are bad, you just have no idea..."

Please let there be NBA ball next season.......it's the wish of us all. haha

I love hockey & college basketball though, I can't think of no NBA & NFL at the same time.

Well, if it's any consolation, I don't think the NFL will have a lockout. As of now, ESPN is agreeing to pay the NFL $2 billion per year for the next decade - which, if that happens, the lockout probably won't happen.

Good, maybe ESPN will show more than one hockey highlight.

hockey isn't a highlight sport. you might as well lobby for soccer.
