what exactly is BRI supposed to mean. like, when it is reduced from 57% to 50%, in what way does that affect gilbert arenas? the contracts can't be directly related to it, as the contracts are pretty random and sure as hell not exactly at 57% of BRI in total or something.

it means how much income is split between the players and owners...right now, the owners get 43% of the income and the players get 57%. now, the owners are seeking more income, hence the BRI being the biggest conflict of the lockout. it doesnt affect Gilbert Arena's current contract, but it means that NBA players would be making less than they are now under a lower BRI (on any future contract).

but wouldn't this mean that all nba contracts combined would amount to exactly 57,0% right now or something? obviously not possible for various reasons. I get that players would get less money, I just don't see how exactly it would manifest in real life. if an owner is eligible to give player X a contract for X dollars on X years, that's what happens.. don't see how BRI gets factored into this equation. never saw it explained in detail.

^I think lowering it from 57% to let's say 50% lowers the salary cap. So I don't know what the cap was. Let's make up a number & say 50,000,000 a season under 57%. Under 50% the cap would be 43,000,000. Therefore lowering contracts owners can give to players so they can stay under the cap. It's all greed by billionaires wanting more money from millionaires & us middle-class people just don't get what we want lol.
Don't quote me though lol.

They really blew it too, cause there was a lot of interest in last year's playoffs and story lines to follow this season. What's gonna happen with the Heat, were the Veteran Mavs a fluke, will LA be able to recover with a new coach after getting there asses handed to them, etc. Now it's looking like it's all going down the shitter, can't say I'm losing sleep over it though.
