NEW YORK — The media stakeout in the lobby of the hotel where the NBA labor talks are taking place is boredom at its ultimate level. As of 6 p.m. EDT, the negotiating session was approaching four hours … and counting.
The Players Association has a room set up with lighting and an NBPA banner, so you can expect a show of unity from them, custom-tailored for photographers and sound-bite lovers. Exactly when that news conference begins will shortly become the subject of a media gambling pool ($1 apiece, a tradition that dates to 1998).
Thankfully, Terry Boers and Dan Bernstein had me on their show this afternoon on 670-TheScore radio in Chicago to help break the monotony.

Meeting again tomorrow is nice to hear. It would be nice if both sides just admitted they’re going to end up at a 50/50 split so we can get on with planning the season.
that whole Bynum clause canont be the what if for Lakers fans ^ True, Sir G .for an example, look no further than Magic.Rookie year, no Kareem Magic blacks out on the Sixers. Lakers win. Magic gets the glory.in the latter years vs the Bulls weak team AND injuries hit that Lakers team Lost, but you would never know, or remember b/c I’ll be damned if I’ve ever heard him mention it in his teams defense. Took an L, the MJ era becomes official, end of story.(and word, Dominique was *smh* an amazing athlete . highlights on the evening news w/ Mike and Nique pre-ESPN was must-see TV)
I’m not easily impressed but you’ve done it with that posting.
That’s a genuinely impressive answer.
Ya learn something new everyday. It’s true I guess!
No question this is the place to get this info, thanks y’all.
I’m so glad I found my solution online.
It’s a pleasure to find such rationality in an answer. Welcome to the debate.
Wow, that’s a really clever way of thinking about it!
That’s really thinking of the highest order
Of the panoply of website I’ve pored over this has the most veracity.
If your articles are always this helpful, “I’ll be back.”
Okay I’m convinced. Let’s put it to action.
Yeah that’s what I’m talking about baby–nice work!
This is way more helpful than anything else I’ve looked at.
Looks like what you would set up if you were going to interview and photograph smiling happy faces.
We shall see
It would really be tacking to have this kind of setting to announce that there would be no full season. But then again Lebron is at today’s meeting LOL
