So those constraints are not designed to save owners money. But players are worried about something very real: that those changes may reduce their job security.
For instance, ask your financial planner if a five-year, $30 million contract is the same as five consecutive one-year, $6 million deals."
Is that the argument from the players to not going through? I know my feeling on this is biased because I feel the players are unwilling to negotiate but then again I am not seeing their full explanation on why they are still holding out. This article explains more of that and changes my perception a bit. I think if more fans knew the whole story it could impact their opinions as well resulting in less people being so upset over the lockout. But then maybe Im just assuming other people are sharing my confusion.
