Rick Barry believes the NBA players are hurting themselves in refusing to submit to the demands of the owners.

“The players are getting bad advice,” Barry said in the Fox interview from his home in Colorado Springs, Colo. “I’m not a big fan of (union executive director) Billy Hunter. What are they going to get if they lose 30 games and get zero concessions? What are they going to get if owners are going to hold their position? Owners screwed up their finances the last time (with collective bargaining agreements of 1999 and 2005). They want a chance now to break even and that’s not unreasonable.”
