What are these players' agents thinking?

I've seen about half a dozen different shoe commercials for players (Rose, Wall, Paul, LeBron, etc.) and they want us to sympathize with them during this lockout? Are they this fucking stupid?

I was going to miss it, but now I hope the entire '11-'12 season is cancelled. Fuck'em.

Was pretty funny seeing Paul Allen walking into the meetings, adressing the group with (well, we we're willing to go 50-50 on the revenue split, even though you guys wanted more... but here's the counter-counter-offer... you're now down to 40-60. Fuck off."

Then he didn't say another word.

Classic.

BTW-Two words...

"Replacement" and "players."


NBA teams are small -- wouldn't take too long to restaff them with NBADL (not sure their union affiliation) players and NCAA guys, along with internationals.


See how long it takes them to come crawling back.

So...if the season is a complete wash, then how is next season's draft order determined?
