It's incredible how some people will use an argument to bash the owners but don't see how the same argument applies to the players as well...
- 'owners are boning the players by not abiding by the contacts they've signed' - um, the players signed those contracts too. They absolutely knew that there was a possibility that they would lose money to escrow.
- 'owners are trying to milk every penny out of the players' - players do the exact same thing. Holding out because some team offers them $56 million instead of $60 million is asinine and greedy.
I do agree that there doesn't appear to be any good reason for a lockout this time around, but as another poster said - I wouldn't put it past the owners or the players to put something else on the table that becomes a deal breaker.
