NBA Players Association Advises Members of Looming Lockout

by Sam Amick

Filed under: , , ,

David SternThe NBA Players Association newsletter sent out last month to all 450 NBA players has eight subheads in all, but it's the first one on the back page that jumped out at this reporter the most.

"2011-12 Lockout."

No question mark at the end of that sentence. No qualifiers such as "Possible 2011-12 Lockout" or even "Likely 2011-12 Lockout." The headline was written with absolute and total certainty that this topic was more reality than mere possibility because, well, it's still looking that way now just as it was back in July.

"As nothing has fundamentally changed in the owners' bargaining position since their initial proposal, we continue to advise that you prepare for a lockout to commence on July 1," the in-house report obtained by FanHouse reads. "More meetings are forthcoming, but we think it is unlikely that any real progress will be made in the coming months. In short, a lockout is just as likely now as it was six months ago."
