This Wednesdays meeting between the players union and the owners was not promising for the NBA season. There was no progress in the meeting and another meeting is scheduled for this Friday. High profile players such as Lebron James and Kobe Bryant are expected to show up on friday in hopes of influencing the committee. "NBA commissioner David Stern is planning to threaten players with the cancellation of the entire 2011-12 season if the sides haven't made major progress toward a deal by the end of the weekend" http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7031637/nba-lockout-owners-players-meet-friday-possibly-weekend
With the regular season almost a month away the NBA is in some serious trouble.
Wait what's going on? Why is this meeting even happening? But more importantly what are your thoughts on it?
ReplyDeleteI am really interested in seeing how quickly the NBA and its players will resolve this lockout. Unlike the NFL I have not heard very much on the actual negotiations that are taking place. Until this point the only news I have heard about star players includes which ones are considering playing over seas. Hopefully players like Lebron and Kobe become more active in the negotiations.
