    Betting on the NBA shortens your lifespan...

    More focus on college hoops, no problems. Only people I feel bad for are the suckers from college who came out early.

    Only good thing is the SBR bet if the season will not start on time at -200 in the SBR sportsbook so should get my winning bet now. Sucks betting wise as I do best in the NBA.

    Where are the smart people in this process? The players certainly not. By sticking with their 53-47 revenue sharing idea, they'll lose all the money they would have gained by going 50-50, in the first four weeks of the regular season.

    The owners have lots of time to make up the money, the players not so much.

    I'm guessing you have no background in economics or finance

    there is a thing called sunk costs, which owners incur if the season goes forward or not, yes some may lose money running an nba team, but their loses will be greater if there is a delayed or canceled season

    Why is it good news? Just when the NBA is popular again. A 50 game season would be exciting but right now it doesnt sound like even thats possible.

    I'd be worrying gambling wise, if the NBA isn't around by January. Don't really touch basketball until mid December anyways.

    NFL + NCAAF + NHL = good enough for now. Two weeks is maybe 6-8 games per team. A shortened season is not a huge deal. It's the full season cancellation that would be tragic.

    it doesn't matter. one of the most overrated sport organisation in the world. numbers of weakness teams, horrible referees, bad point guards , stupid coaches....so overrated league. also euro basket and college hoops more profitable for me
