Yeah - the $175 though is a more extreme use of numbers (so if you are comparing that cumulative number - it should be compared to cumluative revenue across the equation and it starts to get really small - especially given where the two sides were even 2 - 3 weeks ago). It would be like if your boss gave you a $5K raise and quoted you the raise based upon the impact of that increase over 30 years (i.e., a $150K).  

If you actually go back 3 weeks - they are getting closer and closer to a mid-point between where the players initial extreme offer was and the owners and where there extreme offer was.

Which comes out to slighyly more than $1 million per team per year. If they split the difference, it's now less than a minimum salaried player per season. And they seem willing to sacrifice even more to try to "win". Ridiculous.

This - although its why I am optimistic because it is starting to get to such small amounts that people should just say - okay lets split the difference and move on.

It's $175 million out of likely greater than $50 billion. That's less than 0.35%

$175M is a big number, but when broken down by year and by team it's not a huge gap.  Nothing that can't be bridged.
