i'm saying the players shouldn't have these privileges any way
there's a saying the party comes to an end at some point
players got to enjoy revenue sharing as a privilege from the owners

unlike some of the other obnoxious types I know are smarter than you pretend to be here and only do half the poop you do to get a rise out of people. Unlike others who have to stroke their own egos or feel better about themselves by making others feel low, I have observed you just getting a genuine kick out pissing people off. I don't think you will argue much with this, not wholeheartedly anyway.

I don't see why both the owners and players can't come to an agreement.

Andrew Bynum to the Sixers, and Andre Igoudala to the Nuggets for anyone who cares.

Bynum is a friggin pretzel, he's going to fit like a glove in Philadelphia.

The players did't get revenue sharing, they had a job that paid them a salary. The owners cried poor and got a salary cap that took the players from being salaried employees to being partners, with a guaranteed revenue split.

Under the old system, the players were making about 74% of the NHL's "hockey revenue" according to the the NHL owners. So the owners made the players "partners"

You say if you don't sign player x he won't have a job, but there are other leagues and other owners that will pay him what he wants. It's supply and demand, the owners just want to have their cake and eat it, too.

I'm with you. The sixers are heading in the right direction. Bynum is a free agent after this year but he grew up in NJ.

Optimum phrase right there. The NBA is void of big men, Bynum can dominate when he's into it and healthy, neither happen all that often.
