During this past week, (11-11-11) The National Basketball Association presented a 72 game season and they are waiting for the NBPA to accept the deal. I just don’t think this deal is going to go through. The players will probably reject this deal. "They don't want to do a deal," one agent said of the owners' proposals. "And what they've underestimated is the resolve of the players." The owners have also decided to do drug test during the off-season, which I think is a good idea, with how many dumb players there are. They also want to increase the age of players who enter the league to 20 which I also think is a good idea since it makes the players attend college for atlas 2 years. If the deal of 72 game season does go through, it means the season could start on December 15. It also means there will be a game on Christmas day which I believe is a tradition now, like the Cowboys playing on thanksgiving.
Dallas Mavericks player representative Jason Terry said that if the new proposal is not a substantial improvement from the league's prior offers, players will be prepared to walk away, even if it threatens the season.
"For us to take a bad deal at this point, as players, would be not good for the game of basketball and it won't be good for the players going on into the future," Terry said Friday morning during an appearance on the "Ben and Skin Show" on 103.3 FM ESPN in Dallas.
I just wish they could resolve this as fast as possible. I am a basketball lover and I am tired of all this and just need the season to get started.
