Hunter: NBA lockout is possible

By Chris Sheridan ESPN.com

NEW YORK -- In response to NBA commissioner David Stern's assertion that the league lost $370 million last season, the head of the players' union claimed Wednesday that Stern's numbers are as much as $370 million off base.

Union director Billy Hunter made that statement in a telephone interview with ESPN.com, saying the commissioner's assertion of the severity of the owners' financial woes "just doesn't hold water."

His comments illustrated the fundamental differences the sides are facing as they work to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement to replace the one due to expire next June 30.

In a nutshell, the union feels the current system is working well for everyone, while the owners feel the labor agreement needs to be drastically overhauled to enable teams to operate profitably.

The sides have started negotiations toward a new one but remain far apart, creating fears of the first work stoppage since 1998-99.

"I'm preparing for a lockout right now and I haven't seen anything to change that notion. Hopefully I'll see something over the next several months," Hunter said. "As of this moment, it's full speed ahead for me in preparing the players for a worst-case scenario."

Hunter, who also spoke Wednesday to several other news organizations, said the players do not believe the owners' claim that they lost a combined $370 million last season -- a statement Stern reiterated in public comments Monday following an owners' meeting in Las Vegas.

"There might not be any losses at all. It depends on what accounting procedure is used," Hunter said. "If you decide you don't count interest and depreciation, you already lop off 250 of the 370 million dollars, and everything else was predicated upon what they were projecting, which was a decline in attendance that didn't happen. Attendance was the second-highest ever."

Wouldn't it be the ultimate irony if Miami pays those three guys all that money and no one get's to see them play?
 
Matt....I am happy that Lebron came south....but I thought of you when I saw this and it was TOO good to pass up! Love the new avatar?!;)

I absolutely do love that new avatar! LMAO! That T-Shirt has been circulating around here quite a bit. Rumor is Gilbert bought up a few 1,000 already. That'd be hilarious if everyone shows up in that for the nationally televised game against the Heat!

I agree. I still think we make it as a #8. We've still got to be better than the freaking Milwaukee Bucks!

This team will move on without "what's his name". Mo Williams is a good player and JJ Hickson is an up-and-coming stud. The rest of the team is plenty adequate in making a run. Actually, now that I think about it, we may actually get to see more team-work now that "what's his name is gone". It was getting kind of boring watching "what's his name" dribble, dribble, wait until the clock almost ran out and shoot.

I am wondering IF that might have been the distraction Lebron??!! But I must say, IF Gilbert DID buy that many t-shirts and disbursed them....he TRULY is THE most classless owner in the history of sports.:mad:

I have my sources that confirm the Delonte/Gloria fling as the truth.

And I think the Gilbert rumor is just that, a rumor. A funny one at that. :)
 
oh, I can't wait to see how Wade and Bosh react if "what's his name" tries his same ol' dribble, dribble at the top of the key act. It'll be hilarious actually! This may turn into a disaster!

I don't think it will happen. Because he knows, as opposed to the Cavs, there is a World Champion 1st team All-NBA player and a top 15 player in the NBA to depend on....as opposed to a few has beens and never weres.;)

Still yet to be seen how players with alpha-male sized egos are able to co-exist. I guess we'll see.
 
Are you SO paranoid and self-centered that you think everything I say is about you? GEEZ....:rolleyes:

Who said anything about me? :confused:

If attacking is what floats your boat go for it, I really dont care...I always consider the source. :rolleyes:

I asked who did not stand behind what comments. That is all.

:D

You're right. Can you picture Wade standing around watching Lebron doing his dribble act? Bosh standing there with his hands on his hips, saying 'this never happened in Toronto'.

Could be very interesting.

No idea what you're talking about, but whatever. Check the thread, I didn't complain about anything,...this is a really lame attempt to start something that just isn't there. Time to move along now, no reason to continue this. :rolleyes:
