    So basically nothing has changed?

    Super teams can still be formed and the NBA will still be a joke

    The thousands of workers who depend on the NBA for employment won. Congratulations HCP's wife!! The players and owners won. Neither side is happy, which is what was required to make a deal. The fans lost. I'm used to it. I am the 99%.

    What has changed? The owners make more money. That's what really matters....right?

    Fuck Derek Fisher. This only got done when he stepped aside a bit from real negotiations.

    MLE details, per source (1/2): All teams can use full MLE as long as it doesn't take them more than $4M above tax.

    (2/2): If team uses full MLE to get to/near $4M over tax, they CANNOT re-sign FAs and go over $4M. barrier. Could do so via vet minimums

    New Orleans will have to sign someone morning of Dec. 9 to play 3v3 first day of camp. Currently have five players under contract.

    Team personnel have been told lockout rules are still in place, so no communication with players yet. Might still be a day or more away.

    Nuggets have 3 players in China w/no-outs (JR, Chandler, KMart) but still have 7 signed players. The Melo deal still paying dividends.

    There isn't a young player who used lockout better to his advantage than Detroit rookie Kyle Singler, who has been fantastic in Spain.

    Orlando's reality: Amnesty Gil's massive deal, and you're still just barely under the cap.

    Teams still waiting to hear when they'll be allowed to open doors of practice facilities to players. Likely once deal is ratified.

    It's 122 with default posts per page setting. Guess I should have used number of posts instead.

    So if Roy and Oden had stayed healthy, you would've been sickened by OUR Superteam?

    Also, how many superteams ARE in the league? I count Miami and they choked in the Finals.

    Were you against our All Star team in 2000?
