    I just find the timing curious. NLRB expected to rule soon, owners want to sit down. There is no hard deadline yet either, so not sure I expect anything, but hoping for the best.

    There is no hard deadline yet, but there seems to be incentive on both sides to try to save an 82-game schedule (whether that's a good thing rest-wise, or not). If another two weeks gets cancelled (which the league was on the verge of doing Tuesday), that possibility probably goes out the window with them, so that's probably why both sides are starting to be more flexible.

    That, and if the NLRB rules in favor of the players, the owners are ed, so maybe they've finally decided to start playing fair.

    Example of "system" issue where NBA owners/players now agree? Sign-and-trades. WILL be allowed in new deal after fears they'd be outlawed

    BUT ... one sign-and-trade wrinkle sides still negotiating is whether teams over luxury tax will be allowed to partake in S-and-T deals

    Aldridge: Do you have a concrete idea of what a deal looks like now

    Stern: Yes

    I got a bad feeling the players (like DoK) are bent over.

    I appreciate you changing how you act around here.

    You don't need to worry about the players getting bent over. You need to worry about there being a season. That is it. That is all.

    Ehh... I don't know what to think about all this. I want to believe that there will be a deal soon, but I just can't buy it.

    One hint that NBA is planning for 82-game season: League is asking arenas to hold open dates in late April, acc to arena officials.

    Looks like this will get done soon and we'll have NBA basketball before Christmas.

    Blowout win for the owners. Extended garbage time now. Stern's pulled his starters. Players putting up a few points to make the final score look respectable.

    If this ends today, what's an educated guess on when the season would tip-off? How much time for training camp etc....?

    I wish/hope/pray the Spurs amnesty the out of RJ right away.

    But I doubt Holt will give out all that money immediately. Otherwise he wouldn't have asked for an amnesty extension.
