Nfl
It seems very likely the nflpa and nfl will reach an agreement and the lock out could end mid july.
Nba
The 2 sides have held talks the last few days and while it does not seem to be as close to a deal as the nfl its looking like a deal could happen soon.

As long as the talks continue to progress well between both the NFL & NFLPA, the deal could be done as early as mid July with a resolution around the 4th of July. Though you must remember, there are lawyers on both sides and it could take another two or three weeks to work everything out. The NBA & NBPA on the other hand, it looks like there will be a very long lockout since you've got the NBA players who don't want a hard cap but they want more revenue sharing to be given to medium and small market teams. To me that's a little strange. You hope that things between both sides would work out. Though we could be in for a lockout which wipes out part (if not all of the 2011-2012 NBA season).  |

I think the NFL one will be resolved for sure. Too much for both sides to lose.
The NBA is interesting. I could certainly see a lockout that would affect the regular season. What interests me is if the NHL can grab a hold on the US winter sports market, especially with an increased presence on Versus (I think there will be 4 games per week).
