they just wanted money with that lockout shit. if they were serious about "competitive balance" crap, they woulda come up with something better. instead we just get more of the same, only with more money going back to the owners.

it's cool, I get it. every time a team hits middle, but not top, they'll go through the process of blowing the team up to clear cap + stockpile draft picks, put their fans through shit for 2-3 years while they do it just like we're used to. I'm getting increasingly bored of it, though, b/c the Brons + D12s of the world have proven that players have the real power and can go where they want. great for certain teams. pretty tiring if you're not one of them.
