2011 NBA lockout
The lockout is the fourth work stoppage in the history of the NBA. It began at 4:01 UTC (12:01 am EDT) on July 1, 2011. The main issues dividing the owners and the players are revenue sharing and the structure of the salary cap. During the lockout, teams cannot trade, sign or contact players and players cannot access NBA team facilities, trainers, or staff members. All preseason games (scheduled to begin October 9) and the first four weeks of the regular season (scheduled to begin November 1, through November 30) have already been cancelled.[13][14] Some players have signed contracts to play in other countries, and most have the option to return to the NBA as soon as the lockout ends. The lockout will remain in effect until the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) reaches a deal with the NBA owners and when the players stop being greedy pricks.[15]
