I am trying to learn about the owner's involvement and role in the current NBA lockout because I want to know why it is still an ongoing issue and why it has yet to be resolved.
I am trying to learn about the owner's involvement and role in the current NBA lockout because I want to know why it is still an ongoing issue and why it has yet to be resolved because I want my reader to better understand this confusing situation. I want my reader to know the truth and what is really happening. Why a huge business/franchise can shut down over small percentage points.

Argument Venue
The venue for an argument about the NBA lockout would be a sports website,magazine,or sports section in a newspaper. The article I chose is from the sports section of the Los Angeles Times, which usually writes about the Lakers.
1. It is about the NBA lockout, and talks about how the owners are more at fault for the work stoppage than the players.
2. The author's stance is the same as mine. He says the owners are being unfair to the players. He explains how they have ridiculous and unfair proposals and expectations. They aren't willing to comprimise in any way and continue to prolong the work stoppage.
3. They use good stats and evidence to back up their point. His knowledge of previous proposals by both the players and owners enables him to back up his statement that the owners are being unfair. He also gives good background on the situation so the reader knows why their is a lockout and what the issues are. Without that, the reader could get lost and not understand the evidence that the writer uses to back up his argument.
4. Yes. It is the exact point that my article is about. The owners have ridiculous and unfair expectations and seem to have no urgency to complete a deal. The players have compromised greatly, yet the owners still won't agree. They are greedy and unfair and are treating the players and fans like garbage. They seem to only care about themselves and their bank accounts, not about the sport of basketball.
5. I like that his point gets backed up. He doesn't just say the owners are at fault, he shows you why. That is important because without evidence, then the argument is just an opinion piece and there is not really any merit to it. It isn't believable. I would have talked a little more about the past and why there is a lockout, but overall he does a nice job.
6. I will definitely use the same stats about the Basketball Related Income and how there has been no compromise on who gets what. Also the past proposals made by both sides show how far apart they are, and how the players have been very flexible, while the owners have been stubborn, greedy, and unfair.
