As a Dallas Maverick fan, I have to wonder why teams like L.A., Miami, New York, and even Brooklyn can acquire the players that they have under the new collective bargaining agreement, yet a team that has operated well above the salary cap since Mark Cuban took over can not. Those teams have made a decision to operate in the red and a NBA championship is worth it.

Nothing was done for Timberwolves, Kings, Bucks, and Bobcats fans to make them feel like their team as a decent chance of winning a ...

This will cost hundreds of millions of dollars and could take years in and out of court to settle. Guess we need to learn the game of hockey... Your fan perspective... (Leave comments below)

This move by the players a day earlier than the deadline means the entire season is in jeopardy. Watch the Video Here
