Re: NBA Lockout and Collective Bargaining Agreement Discussion

And for the 3rd time in my 4 years of being on OS, we agree.

I'm mad you keeping count lol

Just for the record, I'd like to once again say, I HATE this ****ing lockout.

After the #NBAPA flat-out turned down Stern's offer on Monday, he had no choice but to present them a revised offer

New offer presumably aimed at addressing union concerns w/system. Question is, how far are owners moving and is it enough? OK, that's two Qs

Given the late date, the ultimatum threat made earlier in week, etc, I have to believe this will be NBA's last, best offer. We'll see.

Hope? ownership source says revised offer will give players "meaningful stuff" while staying at 50/50 BRI. Called talks "complicated."

Meeting has wrapped. Players speaking first. Assuming they broke up so union can digest revised proposal.

Union first, then league. Certainly do not expect to hear of any breakthroughs tonight. Only question is whether they keep talking Friday.

Would expect union leadership will study proposal overnight, confer with players and meet with NBA again on Friday. No confirmation though.

Re: NBA Lockout and Collective Bargaining Agreement Discussion

At least the talk should be more positive than usual, nobody crying or claiming they were blatantly deceived. Hopefully they'll come out and say flat out how close they are, and although unlikely, how long they expect this to continue.

Talk with the Reps over the new few days... ?

Derek Fisher: "We still would like to continue to negotiate to get a deal done, right now is not that time."

Fisher: Revised NBA deal doesn't meet on all system issues. Going to meet with player reps over next few days and then figure out next step.

WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski
After reviewing, Fisher says NBA's offer isn't enough "to try and entice us to finish this out tonight." Players will step back, confer.

Hunter on if he expects to accept owners' latest offer: it depends on the directions we get from the player reps #nbalockout

Doesn't sound like this revised proposal was rejected. Sounds like NBPA will talk to player reps to get their input. #NBA

Union's executive committee and team reps will meet on Monday or Tuesday. Hunter said they'll decide whether or not to accept revised offer.
