When credible reporters are saying it, yes.

any fags posting in this thread = fags who thing a fucking circus on wood is actually cool.

the sport lost all credibility when blake griffin won a dunk contest by dunking over the gayest vehicle known to man.

it lost its credibility when posing after a shot became cool.

it lost its credibility when players could dictate where they play, and who they play with.

id rather watch the real housewives of new york. at least those bitches throw real punches.

go watch college basketball for a real sport.

yes im mad. only because an ad driven sport can make you all jizz your pants, when a real sport like college hoops doesn't fill your needs.

Sarver apparently came off last-ditch demand to have players legally reclassified as livestock

>NBA is coming back

FREE AGENCY IS GONNA BE FUCKING NUTS

>tfw the Mavs finally raise their championship banner

I've been excited since to draft to see how the Kings would play like. It's going to be a clusterfuck with Salmons,Cousins,Jimmer, and Thornton all being ball hogs.

Dear god, I was so bored without the NBA and MLS that I was going to watch a Hockey game tomorrow in person but now that the NBA isn't locked out I'm not going to watch a minute of FURPUCK.

What's the main difference between the NBA and Furpuck?

Gets locked out for a couple of games, season still on

This shouldn't surprise anyone who's been paying attention. Dallas had been one of the most profitable teams for years before their recent issues with Hicks. It was only 3 or 4 seasons ago when they were selling out most games. Just takes someone dedicated to make it work.

Well, fuck. Didn't want to start it like this, but fuck it.

so what happens to all the player playing overseas? do they just drop their contracts with those teams and come back to the nba or do they have to stay there?

mostly talking about deron williams

>Sacramento Kings

Honestly a guy from sac, here. How doomed are we? Pretty sure we're doomed.

>>16580673
Don't most of them have out clauses?

>>16580673
They come back. The entire NBA trolled yurop.

T-Wolves, Clippers already 4 1/2 games back

All I wanted for christmas was Deng

I guess christmas wishes do come true

>>16580673
yes, all overseas contracts have out clauses for the end of the lockout

>>16580692
Not everybody, anybody playing in China is fucked.

>>16580673
Deron's fine. Everyone else is too.

Except Kenyon Martin. HE'S fucked.

the fuck is China going to do Americans?

Why not just leave? What will China do?

>>16580730

Pursue legal action?

>>16580721
I meant moving wise, I know my team sucks, right now.

>>16580730
Presumably sue them in US courts.

>>16580730
Use their commie powers to make them stay.

Anyone got a list of people playing in China?

>>16580748
You guys will probably stay. You guys are going out of your way to keep the team, and Stern doesn't want to move the team if he can help it.

>>16580735
>>16580752
Under what jurisdiction? They're foreign contracts, not American. Is there some sort of agreement between the US and China that says citizens have up uphold contracts made there?

WE PRESS CONFERENCE NOW ON ESPN

>>16580770
I know Aaron Brooks and Kenyon Martin are two big ones.

So, when is gonna start Free Agency?

What a fucking glorious day. Lakers vs Bulls on Xmas. My body is not ready.

of course, this still has to get past the hardline owners. What's the requisite number of owner votes for this to pass?

>that bald guy

ALIENS CONFIRMED FOR BRINGING BACK THE NBA

>>16580796
The reason this is such a huge deal is that this is the deal all (or most) the owners approved.

WE PLAYOFFS NOW

>>16580800
Ok, that makes sense now. I didn't know they were all affiliated with FIBA.

Yeah, they're fucked.

>>16580808
lol no, Im caring far more about the sharks and 49ers this year.

THE REALITY IS SETTING IN FOR CP3 TO LEAVE US :(

OP's link doesn't work for me.

mind giving me a tl;dr breakdown?

>stern in the press conference
dat evil greedy jew smirk

>>16580806
So the NBPA declared non-interest (or whatever) and then just agreed to the stupid ultimatum? I love that basketball is back, but if that's the case Billy Hunter really is a total retard.

>>16580821
tl;dr

NBA IS BACK

>>16580827
They changed a thing or two, but yeah, that's basically the gist of it.

It was horribly run by the players.

>live blocks from Arco
how much is rent for your box, $50 a year?

>>16580838
Yeah, fuck the Maloofs indeed.

The city will find another owner to buy the team probably.

>>16580849

>>16580818
Word up, but it gives me something to watch in between. You can't deny that Warriors aren't exciting.

Of all the people covering this, why does ESPN have to interview fucking Chris Broussard?

>>16581034
because ESPN employs him

>>16581044
Aren't any of their other employees awake? Broussard is the worst public speaker on earth.
