![]() Cool look into some of the nifty accounting that goes on behind the scenes. Makes sense that players are treated as capital assets.

![]() How does it make sense? They are employees. And their salaries already get deducted as expenses before they get further deductions for depreciation. That's just another scheme for the rich to get richer. Wonderful. Please let me hire a bunch of highly skilled people and then write it all off multiple times while they make money for me. Beauty.
If this strike lasts all season, it's going to leave a bad taste in my mouth. Especially if these assholes try to make out like it's all being done for me as a fan. I don't buy it, and they might just lose me as a fan. |

I agree LX. These NBA owners expect us to believe that their 'employees' earn more than them? Utter BS. Granted that some players are heartless and there to collect cheques but there are alot of others deserving of their wages. |

![]() As soon as players are willing to accept a share of any losses a team might suffer, I'll be wholeheartedly on their side in these matters.
Until then, I think they need to realize that they make a pretty damn good wage. |

![]() It is brilliant in a sense, but entirely evil just like all the schemes that have fucked over the whole economy. I don't know how accounting became such a creative pursuit. It's just so wrong in principle.
And I'm not on the player's side at all. I don't see either side trying to see where the game can be improved. Once again the fans get fucked. Every time that happens it causes me to care less, and be less of a fan. I guess I'm unusual that way, or these guys just refuse to take that into account. |

What it does do is give these teams justification for spending these large sums of money on these players. |
