The NBA players may have decided to take a hike rather than a smaller slice of the NBA revenue pie but the fans would like both sides to consider their plan for the future of the NBA. Rather than a 50-50 split or 48-52 or whatever the current argument is over, the fans would like to propose a 40-40-20 split where the greedy owners and players give up 10% each to lower ticket prices and to get the fans interested in the live game again.
