title="Lockout (industry)">lockout</a> in the <a href="/wiki/NBA_lockout" title="NBA lockout">history</a> of the <a href="/wiki/National_Basketball_Association" title="National Basketball Association">National Basketball Association</a> (NBA). Team owners began the work stoppage upon expiration of the 2005 <a href="/wiki/NBA_Collective_Bargaining_Agreement" class="mw-redirect" title="NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement">collective bargaining agreement</a> (CBA). The 161-day lockout began on July 1, 2011, and ended on December 8, 2011. It delayed the start of the <a href="/wiki/2011%E2%80%9312_NBA_season" title="2011–12 NBA season">2011–12 regular season</a> from November to December, and it reduced the regular season from 82 to 66 games. The previous <a href="/wiki/1998%E2%80%9399_NBA_lockout" title="1998–99 NBA lockout">lockout in 1998–99</a> had shortened the season to 50 games. During the lockout, teams could not <a href="/wiki/Trade_(sports)" title="Trade (sports)">trade</a>, sign, or contact players. Players additionally did not have access to NBA team facilities, trainers, or staff. Negotiations between the owners, led by league commissioner <a href="/wiki/David_Stern" title="David Stern">David Stern</a>, and the players, headed by director <a href="/wiki/Billy_Hunter_(American_football)" class="mw-redirect" title="Billy Hunter (American football)">Billy Hunter</a> and president <a href="/wiki/Derek_Fisher" title="Derek Fisher">Derek Fisher</a> of the labor union <a href="/wiki/National_Basketball_Players_Association" title="National Basketball Players Association">National Basketball Players Association</a> (NBPA), began in early 2011 and continued through November. The main issues dividing both sides were the division of <a href="/wiki/Revenue" title="Revenue">revenue</a>, the structure of the <a href="/wiki/Salary_cap" title="Salary cap">salary cap</a> and <a href="/wiki/Luxury_tax_(sports)" title="Luxury tax (sports)">luxury tax</a>. Owners proposed to reduce the players' share of basketball related income (BRI) from 57% to 47%, but the players countered with 53% of BRI. Owners wanted to implement a hard salary cap and a harsher luxury tax, hoping to increase competition among teams, whereas players wanted to keep the current soft salary cap structure intact. As both sides failed to reach an agreement, the NBA canceled the preseason and all games through December. On November 14, the players dissolved the union, allowing them to file antitrust lawsuits against the league. On November 26, both sides reached a tentative agreement to end the lockout. The new CBA calls for a revenue split of 49-to-51.2% and a flexible salary cap structure with harsher luxury tax. After the tentative deal was reached, owners allowed players to have voluntary workouts at team sites starting December 1. After the deal was ratified on December 8, <a href="/wiki/Training_camp" title="Training camp">training camps</a>, trades, and <a href="/wiki/Free_agency_(sports)" class="mw-redirect" title="Free agency (sports)">free agency</a> began the next day. During the lockout, some players signed contracts to play in other countries, mostly in Europe and Asia, with most of them having the option to return upon the lockout's conclusion. The lockout also affected the economy outside the league due largely to cities that had teams in the league losing revenue generated by games as well as television networks that broadcast the league losing ratings and advertisement revenue due to games not being played. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Chronology">Chronology</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=2011_NBA_lockout&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Chronology">edit</a>]</div> <ul><li>July 1, 2011: The lockout begins.<a href="#cite_note-lockout_begins-1">[1]</a></li> <li>September 23, 2011: The NBA canceled training camp, which was to begin October 3, and the first week of preseason games, which were to run October 9 through 15.<a href="#cite_note-camp_canceled-2">[2]</a></li> <li>October 4, 2011: The NBA canceled the remainder of the preseason.<a href="#cite_note-abbot_10042011-3">[3]</a></li> <li>October 10, 2011: The first two weeks of the regular season canceled.<a href="#cite_note-stein_10102011-4">[4]</a></li> <li>October 18, 2011: All games through November 30 canceled.<a href="#cite_note-espn-stern-cancel-nov30-5">[5]</a></li> <li>November 14, 2011: The NBPA dissolves <a href="/wiki/Labor_union" class="mw-redirect" title="Labor union">labor union</a> into a <a href="/wiki/Trade_association" title="Trade association">trade association</a>.<a href="#cite_note-union_dissolves-6">[6]</a></li> <li>November 15, 2011: The NBA canceled all games through December 15.

As the CBA was set to expire on June 30, 2005, the two sides began to negotiate in early 2005. There were several issues obstructing the new agreement, which included adding an <a href="/wiki/Eligibility_for_the_NBA_Draft" class="mw-redirect" title="Eligibility for the NBA Draft">age limit for rookies</a>, toughening the existing drug-testing program and limiting the length of long-term contracts. However, negotiations went smoothly and the two sides were able to reach a deal in June 2005, avoiding the lockout.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> That deal guaranteed players 57 percent of basketball-related income (BRI) and lasted for six years, until June 30, 2011.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> A year after signing the deal, eight owners signed a petition requesting Stern address the disparity between <a href="/wiki/Small-market" class="mw-redirect" title="Small-market">small-market</a> and large-market teams. They wrote that "the hard truth is that our current economic system works only for larger-market teams and a few teams that have extraordinary success ...The rest of us are looking at significant and unacceptable annual financial losses."<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> <a href="/wiki/Derek_Fisher" title="Derek Fisher">Derek Fisher</a> succeeded Ewing as NBPA president in 2006.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> In early 2011, negotiations on a new CBA began. The league claimed that it was losing $300 million a year (22 out of 30 teams were losing money last season) and proposed to reduce 40% of players' salary (about $800 million) and institute a hard <a href="/wiki/NBA_salary_cap" title="NBA salary cap">salary cap</a> (at $45 million per team) as opposed to a soft cap (at $58 million) currently in use. The union disputed those figures and steadfastly opposed those changes. Hunter said that he was advising players to prepare for a lockout.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> In May 2011, the NBPA filed a complaint with the <a href="/wiki/National_Labor_Relations_Board" title="National Labor Relations Board">National Labor Relations Board</a> (NLRB), accusing the league of negotiating in bad faith by failing to provide critical financial data to the union and repeatedly threatening to lock out players. The NBA quickly rejected the complaint, saying that the league complies fully with federal labor laws. The union also considered the option of decertification, which allows players to file an antitrust lawsuit against the NBA.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> With time winding down, negotiations continued in May and June. On the salary cap, the owners, in their newest proposal, call for a system called the "flex cap" that limits payroll at $62 million but penalizes teams if the teams payroll exceeds the league's average payroll of that season.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> The union argued that it is still a hard cap because the ceiling would kick in eventually.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> On salary reduction, players offered to cut $500 million over the next five years (their share of BRI would be reduced from 57 to 54.3 percent). The owners instead proposed to cut $2 billion over the next 10 years.<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> As a last-ditch effort to avert a lockout, owners and players met again on June 30, 2011, to negotiate, but both sides failed to reach a resolution on key issues like salary cap and BRI splits. Both Stern and Hunter said that the two sides remained far apart. The owners demanded a larger share, claiming that they were losing money. The players, on the other hand, were willing to make concessions, but they refused to completely cave in to owners' demands. Negotiations broke off, and the CBA expired at midnight.<a href="#cite_note-lockoutbegin-21">[21]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Lockout">Lockout</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=2011_NBA_lockout&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Lockout">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Initial_months">Initial months</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=2011_NBA_lockout&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Initial months">edit</a>]</div> The lockout was officially started by the owners on July 1, 2011, during which teams could not <a href="/wiki/Trade_(sports)" title="Trade (sports)">trade</a>, sign, or contact players, and players could not access NBA team facilities, trainers, or staffs. Negotiations resumed at an August 1 bargaining session, but it fell apart after three hours.<a href="#cite_note-lockout_begins-1">[1]</a> On August 2, 2011, the NBA filed two unfair labor practice claims against the NBPA, one at the NLRB and another at a <a href="/wiki/List_of_United_States_district_and_territorial_courts" title="List of United States district and territorial courts">federal district court</a> in New York. The league accused the players of being uncooperative in negotiations by threatening to dissolve their union and file antitrust lawsuits. Hunter, in a statement released by the union, called the lawsuits "without merit" and that the union would seek to dismiss it in court.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> On August 4, Hunter said that he thought the entire <a href="/wiki/2011%E2%80%9312_NBA_season" title="2011–12 NBA season">2011–12 season</a> would likely be canceled.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Derek_Fisher_2009_cropped.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Derek_Fisher_2009_cropped.jpg/160px-Derek_Fisher_2009_cropped.jpg" decoding="async" width="160" height="201" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Derek_Fisher_2009_cropped.jpg/240px-Derek_Fisher_2009_cropped.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Derek_Fisher_2009_cropped.jpg/320px-Derek_Fisher_2009_cropped.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1068" data-file-height="1345" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Derek_Fisher" title="Derek Fisher">Derek Fisher</a> was the <a href="/wiki/National_Basketball_Players_Association" title="National Basketball Players Association">players union</a> president during the lockout.</figcaption></figure> The NBPA and the owners returned to negotiate again on August 31 with a sense of urgency. No specifics were disclosed although both sides hoped to meet again soon. "Everyone loses if we don't reach an agreement, that's something that I think has always been understood," said union president <a href="/wiki/Derek_Fisher" title="Derek Fisher">Derek Fisher</a>. "I will say we are not apart in terms of an agreed urgency on getting a deal done," said NBA deputy commissioner <a href="/wiki/Adam_Silver" title="Adam Silver">Adam Silver</a>.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> The union and owners met again on September 13 but the negotiation soon collapsed. The salary cap structure remained the main source of disagreement. Owners wanted to create a hard cap for team payroll. The union wanted to keep the current structure intact, referring to it as a "blood issue". Players were willing to cut salary only if owners agree to compromise on the salary cap. But owners were unwilling to concede, saying that there must be a system in place that allows all teams to compete.<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> Five of the <a href="/wiki/Sports_agent" title="Sports agent">sports agents</a>—<a href="/wiki/Arn_Tellem" title="Arn Tellem">Arn Tellem</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bill_Duffy_(basketball)" title="Bill Duffy (basketball)">Bill Duffy</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Mark_Bartelstein&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Mark Bartelstein (page does not exist)">Mark Bartelstein</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jeff_A._Schwartz" title="Jeff A.

They believed owners have most of the leverage in negotiation and viewed decertification as a way for players to take control. Hunter said however that players had not considered decertification at this point.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> On September 15, Fisher sent an email to 400-plus players asking for unity. In the email, he said that recent meetings were "effective". He suggested that the failure of having a deal was not due to disagreement between players and owners, but due to disagreement among owners. Fisher also used the opportunity to counter agents' suggestion of disbanding the union, saying that they were not making "a drastic move that leaves players without a union". According to sources, there was indeed disagreement among the owners. Some thought players' proposal of taking 52% of BRI was fair, and were willing to compromise on things like tying players' future earnings to NBA's future revenue growth and maintaining current salary level. <a href="/wiki/Cleveland_Cavaliers" title="Cleveland Cavaliers">Cavaliers</a>' <a href="/wiki/Dan_Gilbert_(businessman)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dan Gilbert (businessman)">Dan Gilbert</a> and <a href="/wiki/Phoenix_Suns" title="Phoenix Suns">Suns'</a> <a href="/wiki/Robert_Sarver" title="Robert Sarver">Robert Sarver</a> were among the hardliners who oppose the deal while <a href="/wiki/New_York_Knicks" title="New York Knicks">Knicks'</a> <a href="/wiki/James_L._Dolan" title="James L.

Stern said the league would lose $200 million by canceling the preseason, and warned that the first two weeks of the season would be in jeopardy if no deal was reached by October 10. The players proposed that they receive 53% of BRI, while the owners countered with 47%. The two sides then discussed a 50–50 split of BRI, with the owners offering the players 49% of BRI with incentives that would raise the value to 51%.
