The NBA is enjoying a time of unprecedented wealth, which means that a new labor agreement is probably on the horizon. The current agreement between the NBA and the Players’ Association runs through 2021, but the new influx of money (record breaking TV deal) could result in a renewed discussion about how the league splits it’s revenue. Both sides can opt out of the deal as early as this coming summer, and either side must make their intentions clear by December. Anytime the stakes are high, the possibility of a work stoppage exists. The last lockout occurred prior to the 2011-12 season, and the results weren’t pretty for the Trail Blazers.
