    That summed it up nicely. iv tried not to care to much about the lockout but im now in the same boat a few others are which is a canceled season would kill my interest for years to come.

    Either the players and owners settle or HCP will have to take a job as a shopping mall Santa.

    I would hope both parties understand how badly they will hurt their image and fanbase (and thus revenue) if it gets to the point players feel the need to actually file for decertification.

    Info I'd love to find out: would Jeffrey Kessler's law firm make millions if NBAPA decertifies? If so his sabotage routine makes more sense.

    Also: do players fully realize that Stern only controls a majority vote by owners for less than 8 more hrs? Today is D-Day by ALL accounts.

    Sources say Union is "extremely disappointed" in Jeffrey Kessler's comments calling owners' treatment of players like "plantation workers."

    Dissenting owner update: looks like Wash/Den are "no" votes and Cle/Phx are with Stern. Still digging for 100% official list of the 13 no's.

    Kessler regrets "plantation" remark, plans to call Stern to apologize. Or he can just tell him in person at afternoon meeting.
