NBA Draft and D-League Coverage

The news of the NBA lockout became official when the clock hit midnight, unfortunately, leaving a lot of questions unanswered. After looking at how the lockout would affect the D-League on Thursday, the next question relevant to this site is what the lockout means to those players picked up in the 2011 NBA Draft.

The looming NBA lockout is likely to no longer be looming in less than 24 hours -- unless some sort of miracle happens, of course. The NBA players union and the league's owners would have to close an enormous gap between the two side's collective bargaining agreement proposals when they meet on Thursday in Dallas in order to avoid at least a temporary work stoppage.
