It doesn't appear that the NBA will be any different from the NFL this summer. A lockout is beginning to look inevitable and league sources gave the New York Daily News two more indicators that it will happen: "The league has scrubbed its annual Las Vegas summer league and has also scuttled its annual summer internship program," the paper reports.The Vegas league usually has rookies and barely used vets competing for 10 days. The internship program, the paper notes, "usually hires about 30 college students to participate in a 10-week internship program in the league's offices in New York and at the league's entertainment division in Secaucus, N.J."
Other league behavior serving as indicators of a lockout that could start July 1 when the current collective bargaining agreement ceases, the paper reports, include the fact that no team is heading to Europe for training camp or preseason games.
