Stern has always been pro owner. He's basically the CEO and the owners are the board of directors and can fire him if they don't like what he's doing. None of the owners want to lose the season but I think they're prepared to if the players don't give in enough. The question is what are the players holding out for? If they lose more than 10 weeks of games then it will be holding out for pride, because anything after the 10 week point means the deal keeps getting worse and there's no hope of getting back what they've lost. The only way the players have a shot at getting leverage is decertifying. They either need to pull the trigger or make a deal.

You are right. The owners have all the leverage and will break the players unless decertifying scares the owners.

But the owners have hardly negotiated in good faith. Their "concessions" are laughable at best. This is is a hold up and all b/c they wouldn't make enough money.
