Something I was thinking about this morning is what happens to a free agent in 2011 if they are unsigned when the lock out happens? Do they just not get paid? I'm guessing they will just take a 1 year contract over seas but it's interesting. If anyone has any thoughts I'd love to hear them!

What Happens To Free Agents In A Lockout?
"They're going to have to rename the whole conference after us: Toronto Raptors 2014-2015 Northern Conference Champions" ~ ezzbee Dec. 2014
"I guess I got a little carried away there" ~ ezzbee Apr. 2015
"We only have one rule on this team. What is that rule? E.L.E. That's right's, E.L.E, and what does E.L.E. stand for? EVERYBODY LOVE EVERYBODY. Right there up on the wall, because this isn't just a basketball team, this is a lifestyle. ~ Jackie MoonTags: None

Imagine Melo playing oversees for a year... I wonder how much he would get offered?"They're going to have to rename the whole conference after us: Toronto Raptors 2014-2015 Northern Conference Champions" ~ ezzbee Dec. 2014

That's the whole point of the lockout. Most players play pay-check to pay-check despite their millions. So the owners lock them out and eventually the non-superstars will cave in. Because a vote from Jordan Farmar is worth the same as a vote from LeBron James, superstars will get left in the dust when the lesser talents of the NBA become money-starved. It's very rare that they bolt for Europe, especially now given the economic crisis in Greece.

nobody gets paid??? that seems a bit weird to me! how are they able to get around the fact that there are signed contracts?"They're going to have to rename the whole conference after us: Toronto Raptors 2014-2015 Northern Conference Champions" ~ ezzbee Dec. 2014

brandon marshall said if the nfl goes into a lockout he will try out for the nba.
maybe, there is a vice versa in there.If Your Uncle Jack Helped You Off An Elephant, Would You Help Your Uncle Jack Off An Elephant?
Sometimes, I like to buy a book on CD and listen to it, while reading music.
