http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=6723645 Significant is the fact that the lockout actually began hours in advance of the deadline to reach a new deal, signaling that the owners and players are likely nowhere close to coming to any sort of agreement. At this point the entire NBA season could be in jeopardy. I'd love to see David Stern (and everyone involved with officiating in any capacity) lose their job over this, but that's extremely wishful thinking. |

I think the NHL has been scared away from any major labor disputes, just like MLB. The next CBA will have some tough negotiating points, but I sincerely doubt we'll see another labor stoppage. |

The NBA has filed a labor lawsuit against the Players' Association, claiming that they have not negotiated in good faith among other things. Really not looking like there's going to be any basketball this year. The season is supposed to start in three months. Also, ESPN is keeping track of which players go overseas to play: http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/6793510/nba-overseas-player-movement So far 16 players have signed contracts to play in Europe, with dozens more considering offers to play in either Europe or China. |

There seems to be much less optimism here than was the case with the NFL lockout, and the fact that players have viable alternatives outside of the NBA doesn't help, either. |

I honestly hope they miss an entire season. The NBA is in need of a serious reality check. The integrity of their product has completely deteriorated under the Stern era. Players are running wild, the officiating is a joke, the salary cap is merely a "suggestion"... Hopefully a year off will make these idiots wake up. |

From the sound of that article, communications between the two sides have almost a viscous tone to them. I thought the players were on the right side of the NFL lockout, since the whole thing started over the owners just wanting bigger profits than they were already making. In the NBA's case, the owners are losing money, and like you said, the league has turned into quite a mess. I'm not sure what the NBA needs to do to fix itself, but I imagine bringing in fresh blood at the referee position and implementing a stricter salary cap would be a good place to start. |

Start with firing Stern, replacing ALL referees and anyone that has anything to do with NBA officiating, an instituting a hard salary cap. |

For me the NBA lockout means more focus on the Avalanche and Mammoth. |
