Charles Barkley has never been afraid to express his thoughts about players in today’s NBA landscape.
Just over a week after the league’s trade deadline, the NBA on TNT analyst shared some critical remarks about the NBA’s current stars, stemming from the recent divorces of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving from the Nets. The Naismith Hall of Famer believes that the players’ ability to earn max money and then want to part ways with a team when things don’t go as planned will lead to an NBA lockout.
“You can’t take all my money, then say, ‘Hey, I want a divorce.’ So, I’m pretty sure that’s the next thing that’s gonna come out of the CBA. I have no doubt in my mind that these guys are gonna get locked out,” Barkley told a group of reporters at this year's NBA All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City.
