Top 10 reasons why the NBA is postponing training camp

10) The union hasn't agreed to a revenue split of none

9) After 84 days of lockout, it seems a shame to not go for 100

8) Just became aware that they actually have training camps

7) Want to really jerk around the 48 people who play fantasy basketball

6) Know that, thanks to the continued dilution of the college game, there aren't really any rookies of consequence this year anyway

5) The Celtics and Lakers told the NBA they didn't want it, and it's not as if anything happens without their say-so

4) Wouldn't want anything to distract from those Rucker games everyone's enjoying so much

3) Would distract from all of the top pro action in Turkey

2) Only have eyes for the WNBA finals, which is actually happening, I think

1) Having a training camp would imply that there's going to be a season, or that the league still actually exists

To be fair, part of the reason that the current rookie class is so weak is that a disproportionate number of college players returned due to the unstable labor situation in the NBA.

And honestly I'm thrilled with that prospect. Can't wait to see this year's UNC squad.
