Absolutely. Guys like LBJ wont care, but guys like Josh Smith, who are due a big contract, will be PISSSSED.
    My solution to the lockout would be to fire all of them and draft some new players. If they quit, they didnt deserve it anyway, and someone just as talented and willing to play the game would take their place.

    Every single player in the NBA was good before they signed the contract.

    So now youre against unions? But the evil corporation was trying to take advantage of them so they went on strike? So would you support any corporation doing the exact same thing you just said? Firing all its employees and just hiring scabs?

    Its clear your motives are based upon jealousy or hatred of people who have more than you. Not saying that to be snarky, just it seems you give certain groups of people a pass that you identify with, and demagogue those that you feel have too much as perceived by you.

    Yeah, let's just fire all the doctors that complain about their pay being cut. That'll show them. We can just get some more from somewhere.....
