NBA owners have declared a lockout, effective midnight Tuesday, when a collective-bargaining agreement they voided in March expires. Players won't be paid. Teams can't negotiate, sign, or trade anyone. Summer camps, exhibitions, practices, team meetings, and coaching sessions won't be permitted. The NBA commissioner said the 1998-99 season won't be jeopardized if players are willing to accept less than their current share of league revenue.
