| Re: Twitter burns as Owners ratify Anyone else still on the players' side? I have waffled a bit back and forth but I think these recent shenanigans prove the players are the worse of the two evils in this situation. That's hard to do when your opponent is a bunch of rich entitled multi-millionaires. Good job De Smith...not only did eff this up in the beginning now can't even bring it home. What a useless pile you have proven to be. |

| Re: Twitter burns as Owners ratify I'm absolutely on the players's side. The owners ratified their own deal, including in it some terms the players had said they would not agree to. Maybe the players will agree to them, but they certainly won't (and shouldn't) approve anything they haven't seen. Players have been getting information piecemeal, some like what they heard others didn't. Now the players reps are looking over the proposal, and likely won't vote on it tonight. But, as much as all of us wish they would agree to the deal and get on with it, that's not a fair or realistic expectation. They've been locked out for over four months. They have every right not to be pressured into anything.

| Re: Twitter burns as Owners ratify There are 32 owners, 1700 players. It makes sense that player ratification may take longer.

| Re: Twitter burns as Owners ratify They hired someone to negotiate a deal... not to negotiate it and then approve it for them in blind faith. It's not about trust, it's about knowing and understanding what they are signing off on for the next decade. Rubber stamp a deal of this magnitude?? Wow. |

| Re: Twitter burns as Owners ratify I probably shouldn't have said Smith thinks it's a fair deal, that's not entirely accurate. My understanding is he thinks it's a better deal than previous proposals. But still there's a ways to go. They have, I believe, until Tuesday.

| Re: Twitter burns as Owners ratify But people seem to be confusing not accepting with rejecting. It's two very different things

| Re: Twitter burns as Owners ratify Sorry, but if the players are coming in at this point and crying because they don't know what is in it, that is their own fault. They should have been questioning and demanding better info throughout the process. Mankins had his rep come out and say Quote:
Now, the owners have approved a solution that contains the framework that the players leadership has been negotiation day in day out, and if they can't accept it, then I don't see why the owners would ever expect that a final deal could be reached. | |

| Re: Twitter burns as Owners ratify The players aren't helping themselves on Twitter right now. I think they would be wise to shut up and communicate with their reps. |
