Shaun Powell writes that the NBA labor dispute could end when enough players put pressure on their leadership.

"The lockout will be settled when (if) full membership gets to vote," Powell writes, "or when rank-and-file players feel economic pinch."

The NBA is reportedly willing to let December 1st pass so that the players miss their second paycheck.

Powell recently reported that the owners' last offer would have been approved by a majority of the NBPA membership.
