The NBA just voted to re-start the season.
Basball players would be stupid not to play at all.
Yep. I get that they don't want to take less money. I'm definitely not one of the people that's going to call them overpaid or spoiled because they're negotiating. It's really easy for people like us with regular jobs to say that we'd play for a fraction of what they do. Everyone says they'd be happy to get a million dollars to play a kid's game. Sure you would, but would you feel the same about playing for a million if someone signed you to a deal to get 20 million? I seriously doubt it.
They need to consider the viability of the sport if they want to keep the golden goose alive. If they torpedo the season and a large number of fans are mad enough to stop caring, there won't be nearly as much revenue to go around in the future.
