The NBA Lockout

The NBA Lockout is on without an agreement in sight, and training camp less than 5 weeks away. The league and union leaders are still talking and pledging to remain constructive for the time ahead. This lockout is happening because the players Association and the NBA owners have an agreement over how players are payed. This agreement is expiring so at the players and the owners are struggling to come up with a new agreement because the owners want to pay the players less, and of course the players won't have it. If they can't reach an agreement, the NBA won't run until they do so this is called a Lockout.
