Hey 5@10,
FILE – In this Sept. 15, 2011 file photo, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, left, and NBA Commissioner David Stern talk during a break at the NBA basketball owners meeting, in Dallas. The NBA says Cuban proposed a new salary cap exception, not the elimination of the salary cap, during a players-owners meeting last week. (AP Photo/LM Otero, File)I’d like to talk to you this week about the NBA lockout. I realize that discussing the NBA is probably at the bottom of your list of things to talk about right now but this lockout is starting to get serious. This week, the NBA canceled two more weeks of the regular season bringing a total loss of 4 weeks. I’ve studied this thing and I just don’t know who to side with. I understand the owners wanting a more even playing field and I understand the players not wanting a cut in their salary. Last year was so exciting and TV ratings were the highest they had been in years. It is such a shame that all the goodwill the league has built up with fans is being ruined as we speak. So 5@10, who’s more to blame for this and how long do you see the lockout lasting?
