Good for them.

If the whole season is lost, the players can try making their own league like this goodman and drew league type of shit... but it won't work. They won't make enough money and not nearly enough people would wanna watch it.

theres a lot of players who wont set foot on a blacktop outside (rose)
it sounds good but its too much to handle

I'm sure colleges would love to host these teams if presented with opportunity.

well, i like the talk, some of the players have the resources to start their own league. Did they barely think of this idea?

I root for the Indiana Pacers not because Danny Granger is on the team but because they are my hometown team that I love. The Players would fail terribly the NBA is a brand name like Coke. I see no way that would work. This is all talk anyway.

Amare is an idiot BTW.

problem is this new league would probably make alot less than what they put into it

of course there are alot of other issues..but that is a glaring one

Maybe some of them need to show a loss on their tax returns?

I am Nostrodamis now...
Go to the thread titled,"Canceled", I put up 2 days ago.
Go to page 2 and read my reply.
I predicted and suggested that the players start there own league.
Yes, I am 2 steps ahead of the news.
Go look for yourself on page 2 of the "canceled" thread and read the date and time.
I'm very proud of my genius remarks.
Thiss could really happen and I'm sure there are plenty of arenas around the country that would profit by such games.....Who knows, there reaally could be another Jackie Moon stlye ABA league.

BUMP....Time for players to play for the love of the game and see what they are really made of or eat those "we wanna play" words....

BUMP.

The "World Tour" of NBA stars game on Sunday in Puerto Rico has been cancelled, source tells Y! Organizer can't deliver players.

LOL so ironic the players could never organize their own league and make it 1/4 as successful as the NBA..

The players would have to think that they wouldn't even get 20% of the earnings before they would even seriously consider creating an alternate league.
