I agree completely, unless the NBA sets up a formal minor league system like MLB, where drafted players go to get their NCAA-level training and development.

I think that the issue having to deal with race is a valid one. I do not think race played a role in the reasons the NBA and the Player's Union made this decision, I think it is the reaction to young African-Americans making millions from the media and public has racial overtones.
I disagree. I don't think the labor union cares too much about what the public thinks about their salaries. I think it had everything to do with a bunch of 32-year-old journeymen who get to hold onto their $2-million-per-year jobs for one more year. JMO.
