Knicks · Owners and Player agree to to labor deal!!! pt 2 (page 2)

This tentative deal BS is making me nervous. Is the tentative part just a formality and it will definitely get accepted by both sides? Is there any chance some douchebag on one side decides to reject it?

All both sides need is a majority. There will be plenty of douchebags on both sides who reject it but I don't believe they will be the majority.

it'll be a PR nightmare if it doesn't happen. stern, owners, players...none will be able to recover. they won't let that happen.

Dfntly want to see how they would work that allstar game in, They have to play the whole month of april im assuming..they maybe able to pick up the schedule from xmas, but he won't be ending the same.

Yessss! Psyched for this building year. Hope we get the team squared away (i.e., whomever will be sticking around) and make a run in the playoffs.
