I'm hoping for a season lock-out and that the hardliners get an NHL-style hard cap when it's all done. As a Raptors fan, a hard cap doesn't particularly benefit them (they're one of the few teams to make a profit under the current system), but it just makes for more parity overall and a more entertaining league.

I don't think the NBA has ever had parity ever in it's history.
And why would it start now, it's starved for ratings and it's peak in popularity was when the Bulls won 6 championships.
