Derek Fisher

Does everyone still want to completely blame the players for this mess?
If the last two days haven’t convinced you that the owners are even more
greedy, even more egotistical, even more obsessed with coming out ahead
in these discussions – like little kids fighting over every Easter egg –
then I don’t know what will. They deserve much of the blame as well for
failing in the negotiations this week. Just when things appeared ready to
turn around with numerous small breakthroughs on system topics, owners
like Peter Holt (who told the players “You haven’t felt enough pain
yet.”), Paul Allen and Dan Gilbert came through like John Marston and
started shooting s— up. Derek Fisher spoke with NBA TV’s David Aldridge
yesterday, explaining why everything involving the lockout talks have
shut down.

...

What do you think?

I wish I had worked for a company where I could hijack half their profits
despite the millions I was(n't) getting paid - most of us are lucky if we
have a small profit sharing plan to aid our retirement. I side with the
owners, but they definitely helped create the situation in the first place.

You're talking blasphemy in this group.
