NBA will forgo the final couple of hours and start the lockout with the biggest issue being the owners requesting money back from the players and both sides are too far apart on money-related stuff to even consider rushing to meet the deadline.
Unlike the last time the NBA had a lockout, the owners are very divided with the biggest split being the hard cap vs soft cap/luxury tax, the idea of only big markets get Big Threes, and revenue sharing.
Also unlike the NFLPA boss taking the symbolic $1 pay, the NBA's players union boss refused to reduce his $2 million per year to the symbolic range. He did mention that the players have to take cuts and save their money.
