NBA Lockout blues!



Well, the NBA has been locked out for more than 90 days! It's a bummer, as RSG was hoping to see the NBA season start on time. It appears that the season will not start on time, and it may not happen at all. :(

Some nba players (Tony Parker, Andrei Kirilenko, etc.) have decided to play overseas. Lately, Kobe Bryant seemed to be the next big star to play overseas. But, his deal with Virtus Bologna appears to hit a snag. The players are negotiating with the owners on basketball related income, but negotiations are not going well. If there is no agreement by Monday, October 10, the nba season is in major jeopardy.

Lastly, the 1998-99 season was shortened to 50 games. Let's hope this NBA season is not shortened. With preseason games cancelled, the nba season is on hold. The owners and players need to come to an agreement. Let's hope Derek Fisher and the rest of the players can work out a deal with the NBA owners soon.
