Look we all need to calm down about these over paid babies out their. You (players) get paid a ton of money to play a sport. The lock out hurts more than just the players and owners and their pockets. You have just put a ton of people out of work now; in an already slow economy. Wow way to help out the country. What are you asking for 50/50? Last time I checked my boss made a bunch more than me. If you want that; become an owner. It doesn’t take much you can buy the Jazz for pretty cheap or even the Cavs. I am tired of these guaranteed contracts. Oh I paid you 80 mil now you blow out your knee two days later at a cook out. I am not mad at the players for taking the money because their shoes I would too. I am mad that it has gotten to their heads thinking they are worth that much to begin with.
