Title: Yahoo!'s NBA Preview
Post by: JD on September 25, 2010, 10:28:38 AM
I bought it because I need something to read while I'm eating breakfast.  I think KD did pretty much the whole thing.  Awesome job, KD.  I highly recommend it.

Also, KD, if you're reading, why would Carmelo Anthony want to sign an extension with the Nets if they have to start Jordan Farmar and Kris Humphries beside him?  Yeah, Brook Lopez is good, but Billy King is the GM, also.

Any hope for a lengthy strike or lockout this season?

It's going to be freakin' awesome seeing all those arena vendors and local businesses take that huge hit in a terrible economy. Anything to get more NFL in the top half-hour of SportsCenter amiritebrah? Something to hope for, hilarious guy.

To be fair, it'd be Troy Murphy for the first year, but it's a pointless deal for all involved. Likely a terrible deal.

But he wants a contract, before the new CBA hits. The reality is the bad joke, here. Melo wants to sign a contract under these current terms so bad that he'd sign it with the Nets, if he could.

Admittedly, I haven't read up enough on the NBA's labor situation to understand - but from my vantage point, high atop Dumbshit Tower, the NBA seems to have one of the better CBAs in place. You've got rookies coming in making a reasonable salary, pretty much the opposite of the NFL, and GMs and owners are free to spend the money they have under the cap on any terrible player they wish and even exceed the cap as long as they're willing to pay a tax.

What are the major grievances?

I think the owners want to institute a hard salary cap akin to the NHL's.

That's right.  I forgot about Troy Murphy.  Of course, it doesn't matter now.
