Would love to see Javaris Crittenton get another shot!
The use of the word "shot" really made me laugh Norm, especially when you remember what took place between Crittenton and Arenas
I think lockout is not a bad thing for the hobby.
For singles, all card prices will take hit, and you can pick your pc players at 60% of current price.
For box breakers, as new rookie class sucks, there is no point to break 11-12 boxes at release price. 10-11 boxes price will take hit as this 10-11 rc class sucks so far, and box prices probably will be at 60-70% at current prices.
The best part is, after Panini paid huge amount to obtain a multi-year NBA license and release junk after junk to gain its cost back, the NBA is locked and their product can't sells. It might be the time to bring multi-players back to the court!
Yeah but when it gets down to it, I don't give a hoot about cards and companies and boxes, it's just a bonus and something to do on the side, give me my bball!!!!!!!!
I never said lockout is a good thing.Was pretty much gonna say the same thing Matt...... screw cards lol... I want my ball!
What I know of it is that the players association has agreed to take a cut in their percentage of revenue they get and which can be adjusted on a sliding scale depending on revenue I believe; but last I heard is the owners still want a hard cap. I really don't see the players agreeing to that and nor should they. I really don't get why the owners want that though...... they have ultimate control in how much they spend, yes they have to remain competitive, but still...... do they REALLY want a hard cap? Do they understand the flexibility they will lose with a hard cap? No MLE's, no resigning your own players unless you can fit them under the cap etc etc..
