Beck: League And Union To Meet Sunday Night in New York

PrintWith the first two weeks of the regular season on the brink of being cancelled, the NBA and Players Union will meet Sunday night in New York, reports Howard Beck of the New York Times.
The meeting will involve the primary negotiators for each side — Commissioner David Stern and the deputy commissioner Adam Silver for the league, with the union represented by its president, Derek Fisher, and its executive director, Billy Hunter.
Chris Broussard tweets that the owners have relaxed their demand that the players accept a 50/50 split of basketball-related revenue before meeting again. In separate tweets, David Aldridge and Marc J. Spears confirmed that that the players have not accepted the 50-50 concept owners had asked for as precondition for a meeting. Chris Sheridan reports no preconditions have been set by either side and that talks begin at 6 p.m. in an "undisclosed location."
Spears also reports it was the NBA that called the union Sunday morning to seek the meeting. Hunter, who was supposed to fly to Los Angeles for a meeting with players, rescheduled his flight. That meeting remains on his schedule for Monday.

Owners: We're not going to meet with you! 50/50 or nothing!
Players: Well we’re not going to meet with YOU either!
……….

Something had to give
NBA said they would not meet without 50/50 agreement. Players said they would not budge from 53%…
Either one side gave in or they both negotiated another point or two, to 49/51 maybe? Or they just wanted to meet for a few more hours to get everyone’s hope up to then announce first two weeks are cancelled!

New York is significant
this represents a change in travel plans for Hunter who was supposed to fly from Miami to LA for a meeting with players.

From the CBSSports Ken Berger article you posted above...
Hunter did not travel to Miami Saturday night for the All-Star exhibition at Florida International University. His plans for a regional players’ meeting in Los Angeles remain in place for Monday, two people with knowledge of his plans said — but Hunter is not scheduled to fly to L.A. until Monday morning.
hunter had flight booked for tonight
after NBA called this morning, he switched it to Monday morning reports Marc Spears.

Is David Stern's pointman Howard Beck ?
Beck seems to be the “firstest with the mostest” reporting on the lockout right now…
Say pretty please...(LOL)
These owners and players sure know how to win fans back…Settle at very last minute and everybody will be so happy and grateful…

Nene or Tyson and Caron Butler would be awesome
Deron
Morrow
Butler
Nene or Chandler
Lopez
Butler and Chandler would both be injured minimum or 15 games.
Butler and Nene would provide some needed toughness though.
I would like Elton Brand, Ak47 and a resigned Hump.
he's rumored but does philly really have hope for filling his void?
do you want thad young playing full time for 40+ minutes? assuming they keep Thad.
we know spencer hawes cant handle the paint by himself. and Speights? i think Nocioni would be an easier choice seeing how Doug Collins really has no plans for him in the rotation anymore

But his isn't the same as Nene's.
Chandler’s offense is more or less tip ins and some occasional pick and rolls and transition dunks.
Rarely will he even take a jumper and outside 6 feet things get ugly.

The owners are pretty shrewd...
Wait till the last minute so there is less wiggle time for players to counter propose…
“Take it or leave”
idiots
They are playing with fire, but when they miss their first paycheck, the players fold. YOU CAN BET ON IT. The players may be millionaires, but the owners are billionaires and alot older.
The Union folds tonight. Good. They make alot of money to play a game.

I like this proposal by DarwinCook12 yesterday
Is 50/50 fair?
I think the current BRI $ that is being throw around was $4 billion for 2010-2011. The players were entitled to 57% of that ($2.28 billion). Reports are the owners are now demanding that the 57% be reduced to 50%—in effect taking $280 million away from the players. If you’re leading the union, how can you possibly agree to that without getting something in return?
I’m guessing that the discussion of going from 57% to 50% is a gross oversimplification that is being leaked to move public opinion. There are pretty bright people on both sides of the table, and you’ve got to believe they’re doing some outside of the box thinking.
Since BRI is expected to grow each year going forward (and I’m guessing both sides have a pretty good idea what the growth will be), one way that would get both sides what they need is to come up with a 50/50 split of BRI, with the caveat that the players’ share would not go below $2.28 billion. This way Fisher could tell his players he held the line, but the owners would get their 50/50 split.
For example, if 2011-2012 BRI goes up to $4.2 billion, the players get $2.28 billion (54%). In 2012-2013, it goes to $4.3, still at $2.28 billion (53%); 2013-2014, $4.4, the $2.28 billion is now 52%. 2014-2015, it goes to $4.5 billion, it’s at a little over 50% and once BRI hits $4.56, then they just stick at 50%. Both sides win (assuming BRI continues to go up).
I’m sure things like this are being discussed (which might be the reason the leaked proposals now seem to have ranges), and I’m curious to see how it turns out.
"To be or not to be"...that is the question...
You would think both sides must have settled some key issues “over the phone” before agreeing to resume talks at such a late moment in time…
It would be a major P.R. hit for both sides to have another meeting on a Sunday night just to announce they still can’t come to an agreement…
I have high hopes right now… but it “ain’t over till it’s over”…
I wonder how long we will have to stay up tonight too find out ?
“I’ll put the coffee on for you boys…I’ll be drinking something harder…”
if things aren't where they should be by the end of the night, games may be canceled first thing in the morning
I’m thinking that they have something in place by night’s end, Hunter goes to LA, players sign off on it, and then it’s a done deal.
he doesnt have to go to LA
but this whole thing will not be settled tonight. there are two many issues. thats why they’re meeting tonight so they can have more time Monday. That deadline is not going to be honored if there is a substantial progress between now and midnight tomorrow….and remember Stern didnt say what time Monday he wanted a deal.

I may be wrong but I have to believe the owners and players union...
have been discussing many of these issues thru back door channels all long…
Doesn’t Stern and Billy Hunter have lieutenant’s with staffs who do the heavy lifting ? After all this is a multi biilion dollar business very much in the public eye…
i would think it would be like politics when heads of nations meet but many of the issues have been tentatively agreed upon before they go through all that trouble and then end up looking like fools…
Finally a good sign
A Sunday meeting?! Wtf

Sounds like Dwyane Wade, Miami and Lebron might want to play ball...
Superstars ended last lockout in 1998/1999…Maybe history is repeating itself ?
Miami Heat and Big 3 have most to lose…
Wade asked the players to stick around after Saturday’s game ended for what turned into an hourlong meeting on the status of the labor negotiations. The AP has learned Wade is trying to become more involved in the talks, and urged those who were in the room with him late Saturday night to be as "informed’’ as possible about what’s at stake in this next labor agreement.
Isn't there ALOT more unsettled besides BRI?
They’ve harped up this for ages but what about…
MLE + other exceptions
Max contract size and length
Rookie pay scale and age limit
Salary cap
Lux tax
etc.
Are these settled? I never heard about them, so I would assume no.
Those issues are minor, relatively speaking...
The big issue as we have come to see, is the split of revenues (BRI) …
Bean counters on both sides can deal with the rest…
Guess what folks…“It’s all about the money !”
I guess...
I don’t see them as minor.
I understand BRI is the most important, but that seems like the beginning.
by Jack Handy Jr on Oct 9, 2011 5:11 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm with you Joe.
BRI is obviously the big issue, but there are number of very important other ones to deal with.

Good question.
"This isn’t fantasy or rotisserie basketball. Why would Denver want Outlaw? Would you?" - Al Iannazzone
Nope
Not one of them as well as a host of other issues
I don’t know how minor they are. As a complex of issues, they could be used by either side to win what they lost on BRI split or “hard cap”.
I also think what’s underrated is that if they cant salvage full season the growth in revenues will slow or even reverse. That growth is factored in to both sides calculations and expectations. That WILL harden positions.
By the way Ive decided I want Yi back. Need those Chinese fans!

exactly
only thing you have to worry about is there are probably lots of GM’s in the league thinking this same thing, and are prepared to offer him more. And of course if you add Yi, how do you develop J-Will?

I want Yi back too
but the problem with that is Brook was pretty pissed off the last time coz the coach was always calling plays for Yi instead of him.
Yi is not good enough to be an NBA player.
and he is without a doubt the primary reason the Nets seriously challenged for the worst record in NBA history.
i wouldnt say the primary reason
that can be traced back to either Bruce Ratner’s cost-cutting and trading our best players for scraps (Jefferson, Carter), or managements delusional belief that LeBron would want to play for the Nets, both of which caused them to completely ignore the quality of the 2009-2010 team if it meant getting further under the cap

When millions upon millions of dollars are at stake...
you will be surprised how fast things can move…
Here's what I'm talking about...
If the league cancels the first two weeks of the regular season, players and owners will lose 100 games and approximately $325 million in basketball-related income (BRI).Among the 100 games are the defending champion Dallas Mavericks vs. the Chicago Bulls and the Los Angeles Lakers vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder— both on TNT on opening night Nov. 1 — and the Heat vs. the New York Knicks on Nov. 2 on ESPN.
“We are hopeful that a favorable resolution is reached for both sides and for an outcome that gets players on the court to start the 2011-12 season,” TNT spokesman Sal Petruzzi said. “We are certainly making contingency plans for TNT but at this point we are not going to speculate about the potential impact to the start of the season.”
I think they will have a meeting early tomorrow after making progress today
and save the first two weeks.
You think your upset...

So did Nets management… I hate to see what went on behind closed doors…
Now he says he playing in China but it’s not about the money, but he’ still hoping come playoff time some NBA team will pick him up…
Fool me once…
I agree he was a unique player
but the Nets didn’t have much fo a choice nor were they strict with him. If he would have been bashed and punished like some of the other young Nets players the past 2 seasons, the Nets would never have made it to the Finals. Its just something were you pick how far you want your team to go. And I do believe that money was an issue, because it was a S&T deal when he went to the Nuggets. Im still shocked the Nets didnt ask for Nene or Camby back in return though.
"Most people on this board are like a broken clock, Only right two times a day"
I agree 100%
but no K-Mart=No Big Man=No Finals. Just my opinion though

Adrian Wojnarowski: As labor meeting unfolds in NY, several NBA execs have hope of deal in next 24-48 hours. Why? They don’t have faith in players holding line. 2 minutes ago
by D Will to Succeed on Oct 9, 2011 7:53 PM EDT reply actions
The Question Is...
Are they given a chance to cross the line? Do the union reps have an obligation to bring every formal proposal to a vote? If so, I think the owners are right. The rank & file players will vote just about any deal through, because the lower salaried players will be the least affected.
I’ve always felt 51/49 is the magic split. Psychologically players can sell that they won, by retaining a majority share of BRI. Practically, the owners win big.

Sounds like good news to me !
“In his latest letter to NBA players, union prez Derek Fisher urges all players to attend Monday afternoon meeting in LA if at all possible,” ESPN’s Marc Stein tweeted on Sunday night. The letter also contained information saying Fisher and Chris Paul will tweet same “LET US PLAY” mantra seen from NFL players during the NFL lockout earlier this year.
There isn’t any further information known regarding the big meeting, but there is a chance that the NBPA is looking to give its members an opportunity to vote on whichever “best offer” the NBA gives it tonight. Sports Illustrated’s Sam Amick proposed that option earlier in the week and it seems to make sense, regardless of the outcome.

Go plasma, you'll be happy in the end I promise.

LED is better
I picked up a 42" Vizio LED 3D 120ghz TV for $800. Built in Wi-Fi so you can use Netflix app and other apps thats on the TV

I prefer the plasmas over LED unless you're getting into super expensive TV's.
If that’s the same Vizio that was on sale on Labor Day for I think 650, I don’t like it at all, had it and returned it almost instantly.
The speakers literally sounded like a clock radio and the picture looked washed out and awful with outdoor sports no matter how I toyed with the settings.
It pops more then a plasma, but it doesn’t have the depth, colors and smoothness a plasma that cost 2/3rd’s does.
The Panny’s for around $500 to $600 depending on the sale also have the WiFi built in and look and sound a ton better.
They are a little heavier though.
Those Panny’s are 720, but the human eye cannot detect the difference between that and 1080p from 5 feet and closer, so unless you’re pressing your face up against the screen you can’t even tell, it’s all psychological.

My only problem with my Vizio
is that the speakers are real sh#tty, otherwise everything is perfect. The HDMI cable really shows off the HD whether its from the cable box or from the PS3. The only thing i regret was buying a TV so freaking big, because the 42" in in my room, right next to my desk…..i think im going blind.

“A league source briefed on labor meeting within past two hours tells Y!: “No progress yet.” Talks pushing past fifth hour here in NY now."

So much left to be done.
