magicbalala245 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 One month after the NBA lockout began, the heavy hitters will finally be back at the bargaining table Monday. Commissioner David Stern, union director Billy Hunter and their top lieutenants have agreed to resume collective bargaining discussions, sources told ESPN.com Wednesday, for the first time since talks broke down hours before NBA owners imposed a lockout July 1, shutting down the league for the first time since the summer of 1998. The sides remain far apart on the parameters of a new deal, but the decision to meet face-to-face again is one of the first possible signs of progress after four weeks of stagnancy. Aside from Stern and Hunter, the meeting is expected to include NBA deputy commissioner Adam Silver, players association president Derek Fisher and Peter Holt of the San Antonio Spurs, the head of the ownersnegotiating committee.

Sportsguy9695 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I just hope the NBA learned something from the NFL lockout. You just saw how much passion nil fans, players, coaches have for the game and were all happy to have it back. The NBA needs to get it done. And not take as long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
?QuestionMark? Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 The NBA is much further apart than the NFL was. What the NFL owners were just tweaks, what the NBA owners want is an overhaul of the current CBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
