Breaking news: NBA lockout

Since last September, NBA (National Basketball Assotiation) is in lockout. This word in catalan means "tancament patronal". The owners are disagree with the collective agreement. They think that players win too much money and, logically, players say that the actual situation is good.
Both parts have negocied a few times with reunions of 12 hours but today we can say that is so far the NBA start. For this a lot of NBA players are coming to Europe. Rudy Fernandez (Dallas Mavericks) and Serge Ibaka (Oklahoma City Thunders) have gone to Real Madrid, Tony Parker (San Antonio Spurs) has arrived to ASVEL Lyon, Thiago Splitter (San Antonio Spurs) have signed for Valencia and Andrei Kirilenko (Utah Jazz) has gone to CSKA Moscow. There are other players that left from NBA but         these are the most importants.
In my opinion, players and owners have to arrive to an agreement. Only for the public who wants to see the best baskeball of all the world. European basketball isn't the same that NBA because here there are a lot of leagues (country leagues) and a big competition (Euroleague). In USA this is different: there are only one championship with the bests teams of all times and this is what basketball fans is the best way to see basketball.
