NEW YORK — Player representatives from each of the 30 NBA teams will meet Monday in New York, and it is a guessing game as to what happens from there. Reject that deal that is on the table and demand further talks? Approve a vote of the entire player population but refuse to endorse the owners’ latest offer? Endorse the growing decertification movement? We will find out soon enough. In the meantime, some details have emerged of what is contained in the latest proposal. The
NBA Lockout: What’s next
csprtContainer(); NEW YORK — The season will start Dec. 15, there will be 72 games, and the start of the NBA finals will be pushed back into mid-June instead of early June. That is assuming the players ratify the proposal David Stern made to the union late last night. Here are the next several steps: 1. The union’s player reps, with one player representing each team, will have the proposal detailed for them at a meeting in New York on Monday or Tuesday (depending
Lockout talks end; Clock to remain stopped
csprtContainer(); NEW YORK — The clock remains stopped, and it will stay that way until the early part of next week — and perhaps even longer. Eventually, we will learn whether there will be a 72-game season beginning Dec. 15, or a nuclear winter for the NBA. “”We have made our revised proposal, and we’re not planning to make another one. There’s nothing left to negotiate about,” commissioner David Stern said after the sides met for another 10 1/2 hours Thursday. Stern would not characterize
Yahoo’s Woj: Stern making new offer after conference call
NEW YORK — The sides have been together today for more than 10 hours — unless you subtract the time when Billy Hunter and several players took a short stroll outside to get dinner — and there could be a strong push to get this thing across the finish line tonight, unless it backfires. Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports is reporting that after finishing a call with the owners’ labor relations committee, commissioner David Stern will deliver a revised offer to
Lockout update: The clock remains stopped as sides still talking
NEW YORK — Draw no conclusions from this picture. There are more chairs and more microphones nearby if needed, and there is an NBA backdrop at the ready. There were six microphones at the table earlier, people starting drawing invalid conclusions, and David Stern himself came down and rearranged things (OK, that last part is not true). At some point this afternoon or tonight or in the wee hours of tomorrow morning, a news conference will be held in the room where I
Lockout update: They’ve stopped the clock
// NEW YORK — To be continued … NBA players and owners met for nearly 12 hours Wednesday and “stopped the clock” at 1 a.m. EST, agreeing to resume negotiations at noon Thursday. “Nothing was worked out today,” commissioner David Stern said. “I would not read into this optimism or pessimism.” With the players having already indicated a willingness to accept a 50-50 split of basketball related income, the sides discussed a litany of unresolved system issues. Stern had issued a deadline of
Lockout update: Owners and players are talking again
csprtContainer(); NEW YORK — With the clock ticking toward NBA commissioner David Stern’s open-to-interpretation deadline of “by the close of business on Wednesday,” lockout negotiations resumed this afternoon with only the heavy hitters in the room. Stern, deputy commisioner Adam Silver and San Antonio Spurs owner Peter Holt, chairman of the league’s labor relations committee, were representing the owners along with senior NBA attorneys Dan Rube and Rick Buchanan. Union director Billy Hunter, president Derek Fisher, executive committee members Roger Mason and Mo
Lockout, Day 132: Will we see Day 133? – UPDATE
NEW YORK — Chris Broussard of ESPN is reporting that details are being finalized for a 1 p.m. meeting today. So it appears commissioner David Stern will agree to one more sitdown with the union to try to make a deal before today’s “close of business” deadline for the players to accept or reject the offer the owners put on the table Saturday night. Stern told NBA-TV he would first have to speak to the owners’ Labor Relations Committee before agreeing to another sitdown.
