NBA Lockout: Who holds the KEY?
 
As a player I see where there coming from, it's called JOB SECURITY! The problems the owners are having are, there paying players big dollars that are not producing, injured and retired. There's no middle ground to this situation,

Though they didn't tackle the issue of basketball related income (BRI), it remains the biggest hurdle that needs to be cleared before any deal is consummated.  The BRI in the old CBA was a 57-43 split in favor of the players, a number that the owners are demanding is closer to 50-50.  The players have responded with 53 percent.

As has been the case since the beginning of the lockout, nothing is going to happen until the players realize they have little leverage and will only get a worse deal if regular season games are lost! (SB Nation New York)
