2011-2012 NBA season teetering on the brink of disaster

NBA Commissioner David Stern

NBA players have been offered a 50-50 revenue split, which the owners say is their final offer, or at least their best offer.  This lock-out has been going on much too long.  Owners say that franchises are failing because players are paid too much, but others point out that many franchises are doing just fine; that the expansion franchises are the ones mostly in trouble, and those are the ones in small markets, or perhaps I should day the smaller markets.



What a mess.  The next couple of days will determine whether there will even be a season. if the player reps agree to the latest offer, the proposal will be put to the players, and there are a lot of them who are opposed to it, but can't afford to skip an entire season.
