NBA had a lock out?
YES... I have been pretty bummed without the NBA, can't wait til christmas!
Now what happens to the players that already agreed to sign with international teams? are they stuck there or are they allowed to come back to the NBA this season?
good for the employees who depend on their job during the nba season..
Don't know how it is with all cases, but with Kobe's, the deal was only in place if there was no NBA season this year. Now that the NBA season getting ready to start, the deal is null and void. I'm sure most, if not all, of the players that have signed with international teams have that sort of clause in their contract, and will play in the NBA.Quote:

yes ive been saying all we have is foot ball now i got summin else to look foward too
The three games currently scheduled for Christmas Day are:
Knicks vs. Celtics
Heat vs. Mavericks
Bulls vs. Lakers
Going to be a great day of basketball!
I wish they would just play a 50 game season every year.
Most people didn't care about the nba lockout. It's really cool that the first games are on christmas so a lot of people will watch them but there still will be a lot of people who don't care about the nba.

Only players I heard that are stuck are the players playing in China right now (Chandler, Smith). They could return to the NBA in March, after the season ends in China.Quote:
