What an utter and complete waste of time ! One hundred and fifty days of bullshit and after all the meaningless posturing, the two sides settled things after a marathon negotiating session on terms I believe the parties could have agreed upon 5 months ago. Things only got settled because paychecks were being missed and a "real NBA season " was actually in jeopardy .
If you ask me (keep in mind I'm a huge NBA fan), the entire process was a farce....it felt almost like a script which had to play out before the matter could be resolved. So we'll have 66 games, an All Star Weekend, full playoffs and fans after letting off some steam will probably " forgive and forget " very quickly.....Assuming a good , competitive product is put out on the floor.
In any event I'm excited and ready for "pro hoops "! Kobe, Carmelo, Amare , Dwight, Lebron, Wade and Dirk. Great expectations.
A quick word of advice to players and teams . Perfect way to get back in the good graces of the fans is to run some "giveaways " . Free sodas, buy one hot dog get one free, half-priced parking, lowering ticket prices for some home games, etc. These giveaways don't have to be "big ticket items " .
Remember it's the thought that counts . Don't forget the fans!
