It is worth remembering that "blocking the NBA does not have to mean" of the NBA games will be canceled. " Or even exhibition games, or parts of training camp. All a "lockout" means is that the NBA went out of business, all business, for an indefinite period of time after the league agreed to collective bargaining (CBA) with its players expires in July. This means that players will not be paid, which is strange considering that legal contracts to be paid by the owners, and also means that players do not go on strike. Players want to play. Particular will be taking his ball and goes home. Which is probably a good thing, because it will prevent this annual rite of passage we see each July, which allows owners of the NBA in the offer in respect of themselves and ignore the provisions already in the ACB designed to save money, and the player after the player signed terrible deals.
