I did. I view the lockout as an extension of the same mentality that allowed Seattle to get screwed like that.

I don't find it surprising that KG f**ked things up in the negotiations.
He probably pounded his chest and then slapped the ground, made a scowl, and proceeded to find the smallest guy in the room to pick a fight with.
What an ass.

And then cried to John Thompson in a post meeting interview
"Kevin, how are the negotiations going?"
*Sob, sob* "They hard, man"

Throw in an awkward cancer joke, and that's KG in a nutshell.

I thought Simmons take was funny
During one of the single biggest meetings (last week, on Tuesday), Hunter had Kobe Bryant, Paul Pierce and Garnett (combined years spent in college: three) negotiate directly with Stern in some sort of misguided "Look how resolved we are, you're not gonna intimidate us!" ploy that backfired so badly that one of their teams' owners was summoned into the meeting specifically to calm his player down and undo some of the damage. (I'll let you guess the player. It's not hard.) And this helped the situation … how? And we thought this was going to work … why?

I didn't call Stern a cancer. I said "David Stern you are cancerous to the fans and our league".

Yeah, very sad too. The Supersonics were an original team and I hated to see it go away over a greedy as organization.

Well the owners hijacked the meeting and straight up said either the players take 50/50 or we walk. The mediator was there, players, ended the meeting.
Now there are no meetings scheduled.
