There was a pretty interesting article on ESPN I read the other day about the lockout, basically saying if we get down to a deadline where extensive games or a season could be lost the owners are going to have some huge internal disagreements. The Miami big 3 are only locked up for 3 more years, their owner would give into any players demands before risking losing one of those season and being closer to breaking up potentially the biggest dynasty of all-time. The Lakers have an aging Kobe and a chance to lure Dwight to town. Dallas just won with an aging roster, they want to try to repeat. NY finally has two stars each better than any player since Ewing. Sorry can't find the link at work.
Based on all the information I've been hearing I'll be very surprised if the NBA lockout takes more then a couple regular season games. A short 50 game season is basically worst case scenario in my opinon, and I loved the crazyness and change when they did that in 99. Back to back to back's, regular seasons actually meaning something, a one week winning streak jumping you from bottom of the playoff bracket to the top. It does suck not having actual NBA news from now until the lockout is over; free agency, off-season trades, and summer league are as fun to me as many games in the regular season.
