Let the NBA lock itself out. I won't miss it.

If this is the first step toward contraction, bring it on. League has 8 or so decent/good teams right now and the rest are uninteresting. As a fading fan, I would gladly give up two years if the resulting product is improved.

Both sides are too greedy for that to happen but it probably needs to happen. They could take those two years and determine OKC, Sacramento, NJ, Milwaukee, and Memphis are all bad ideas. Implode those franchises and hold a dispersal draft to get rid of the excess players. Next step would be a two year training program so that the refs could relearn the rules, recognize traveling and count to three. They could change the lane to the international lane. During the down time the players could actually hold 9 to 5 type jobs so they would remember how good they had it making $3 million a year. They could also work on ball handling, shooting, and other fundamental skills besides chest bumping, and screaming after a routine shot is made.

Oh no, we'll be left with 4 yr , $0 salary college students playing their hearts out for only 30 some games per season. What will we do?

Sh*tcan half the teams and retain only the cream of the crop players and have a seeded draft.
The league would flourish and the no loads would be out the door parking cars for a living instead of getting huge paychecks for subpar performance. Hell, half the players cant even hit 6 freethrows without a miss. 80% shoot the 3 at under 30%. This league is so watered down it's an abomination. I have not paid a dime to the NBA in years!

Isn't the NBA slowly on it's way out of the national sports consciousness, anyway?

This isn't the mid-90s, its the 2000s. The league will do just fine without any work stoppages.
