No Deal, But No "Reset" Either; Players, NBA To Resume Negotiations In New York Thursday
The NBA and the Players Association met for 12 hours on Wednesday. The bad news is that they still haven't reached a deal. The good news is that the NBA is freezing it's timeline in regard to a "reset" proposal until they get through this session, which will continue Thursday at noon.
System issues were the focus, and Adrian Wojnarowski tweets that progress was made on three of the five key ones, adding "this remains a tenuous process but the owners wouldn't have, as Stern termed it,, 'stopped the clock,' without real progress. Onto Thursday".. But Billy Hunter said afterward that the two sides still don't have an agreement on the economics.
"We're not failing," David Stern said, "and we're not succeeding." Meanwhile, Forbes reports that the Nets would be among five teams that would lose less money by not playing any games this season.

These are serious negotiations in crunch time.

Game 7 down by 1 with 5 seconds left in the 4th
Lets hope Kobe has the rock and can pull through in the clutch rather then having Lebron tossing up a brick and sending us back to the drawing board. Get’r done !!!
nevermind I just saw someone already posted this on the previous CBA thread lol

Guarantee a deal gets done on Mon. The NBA is going to want all the press. Right now there are way too many stories in the news. Mon nite news cycle so that they have a whole week of press. Lots of activity and player movement rumors. The players HAVE to accept this final deal.

Hey, atleast when..
The season starts, Deron Williams won’t be rusty… I will say though, getting someone like a Tyson Chandler will strengthen our defense in the frontcourt.
Just remember this source from yesterday PRIOR to meetings..

Prediction: Stern Wants the Headlines
An announcement will be made in prime time, likely tomorrow or Monday after the Penn State stuff has started to blow over. Stern will want the deal & pending free agency to create a strong buzz, not fly under the radar. He’s got the players on the hook already. He’ll make sure hey “slowly make progress” until the opportune time for an announcement, and then make the final concessions. Next week is probably the ideal time.
I don't think Penn State stuff blows over
ANYTIME soon. If/when a deal is ready to be done, they’ll announce it asap.

Wish it was that easy guys...
The NBA might drag us thru this crap until January 6th before they cancel the season….
I believe that was the cut off date issued by Stern in the last lockout of 1998/1999...
He told the players union that was the date he would have to cancel the season. The reasoning being that less then 50 games season is not doable…
That would be a sucky birthday present for me

I don’t think you can trust anyone anymore. Even if you talk directly to several sources, you’ll probably find completely different opinions. There’s no point in speculating because in the end the only way to find out is whether a deal was reached or not.

these people need the press
they need good news. So if a deal is not met during prime time and the meeting is going on passed 11 eastern time nothing is happening.

i hope there is no season, odds are nets draft pick would be top 5 in a stacked draft
if they play, the nets will be mildly competitive. maybe squeak into an 8th seed with the current roster. it will also protect billy king from himself, into throwing too much money at a nene or david west. then you can make a run a legitimate run at dwight and still have Nene or West as a Plan B option. Sure I’d like to see bball this year, but in the long run it’s better for the Nets if there is no season period. Let’s be honest, it’s not like they were gonna be title contenders this year.

You're really that much of a Nets fan?
I could never operate that way. I’m not criticized; I just find it very interesting, as it’s a completely different approach than I take.
At the end of the day, to me, sports is just a form of entertainment. I happen to have some fictitious connection to individual teams, but that’s only to further the level of entertainment that I draw from watching a certain sport.
I just could never understand wanting a season to be lost because it’s better for a team I happen to root for. What’s even more interesting is that I may be in the minority.
I guess I'm a huge fan then. A shortened season with an asterisk next to it is less important to me
than seeing the Nets go into Brooklyn with a legitimate NBA squad. I think a 50 game season in an empty stadium in Newark would be wack. It would be cool to see lebron finally get his ring this year but I’m already over this NBA season I guess.

i'm not taking it personally and naive isn't the right word. i'm indifferent.
their whining and fighting over fan’s money has made me apathetic to an NBA season. i just don’t care about it. i’m more concerned with the NFL right now and then pitchers and catchers report a few weeks after the super bowl. the NFL settled their labor dispute quickly, and it worked out. the NHL lost a season, and they play their stanley cup games on VS network now. If you really want a 50 game season that’s your MO but don’t call me naive for not wanting one or caring about one if it happens.

By the way, if the season is cancelled, both sides won’t get what they deserve.
Posting here means I care about the NBA???
also if the season is cancel basketball will be hurt for years how is both sides not getting what the deserve.
NBA is entertainment.
when I don’t like what I see I find something else to entertain me.

Tell me this doesn’t make you optimistic.
really, we have to look at it from a more simplistic way: the only time to be optimistic is when we see them shaking hands
whatever this reporter or that reporter or this friend of the league or that friend of the league says is irrelevant.
and once they DO shake hands, whenever that will be..cross your fingers it gets ratified by the owners.
true
but i look for optimism whenever i can. Although with something like this, it usually backfires
me too...I was SUPER optimistic a month or two ago
gotta control my emotions. not fun getting hurt over and over. and I’ve learned to not take it as serious anymore..too much backfiring as you said.
dont understand
how a friend of the commissioner and one of the sources who is very close to talks saying it’s over doesn’t make you optimistic but thats not my problem
neither did i
but when i found out who he was, his words meant something more than just another source to me

Players still unhappy with those issues and don’t like the mini-mid level alternative to MLE for Tax paying teams.

Chris Broussard: Hope? ownership source says revised offer will give players "meaningful stuff" while staying at 50/50 BRI. Called talks "complicated."
sorry, “meaningful stuff” doesn’t cut it for me.
No one has said that the meeting is over.
May go on for hours, unless the rooms are already rented by someone else for the weekend!!
After watching the news conference I have some confidence...
Their are still many “B list” issues that need to be resolved but I feel like the players feel they have done all they can and that the owners have put out what they can. I think after the players get a look at this over the weekend we will have some good news Monday or Tuesday. Billy said it best at the end of the conference “We feel we are at the end and we just want to get this done.” Forget the tweets, forget all the spin. Just by watching the news conference you can see the players are at their end and just want to get back to playing ball. We WILL have basketball. Put a stamp on it.
