Image via WikipediaNot to be a Debbie Downer here, but if the NBA owners and the NBA players' union doesn't negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement by July 1, 2011, we're going to have an NBA lockout on our hands, ladies and gents. Billy Hunter, president of the NBA players' union, has openly acknowledged that a lockout is a very real possibility at this juncture.
The two sides did meet in August, and according to CBSSports.com's Ken Berger, some ground was broken; however, much work remains before the two hammer out a new CBA. Until they do, the prospect of a 2011 NBA lockout will hover around as an all-too-possible worst case scenario to these negotiations.
