Another source says BRI was only "partly" of breakdown in talks.

fck really wow after all that hype and stern going all ape
i will be more worried if no deal is struck this weekend
Well once again these guys find some momentum and then things up somehow. These people are crap. I'm really starting to hate the league in general.
Well I was pretty skeptical to begin with. Even though I hadn't heard it reported, I felt the timing was fishy. Like I said earlier, with NRLB ruling getting closer I wasn't surprised to see them "negotiating" again. That and the fact there was no hard deadline yet led me to be skeptical. As of, that appears to have been the case.
This was like a little kid who complains about brushing his teeth, but when they find out they are going to the dentist they brush like 50 times that day. All for show.
Friday's CBA negotiations ended without an agreement on the most contentious issue, the split of Basketball-Related Income (BRI) -- the owners want an even 50% split, while the players want 52%.
The current CBA has the players at 57%, so they have already conceded a ton of cash over the life of the deal. Despite the BRI deadlock, there were more positive developments on Friday -- rough outlines have developed for the amnesty clause and luxury tax, and one "prominent agent" said that a deal could be struck as soon as Saturday.

And they screw it up...
At the same time, it isn't that surprising. Before the meeting, owners didn't want to go over a 50/50 spit and players didn't want to receive less than 52% of the BRI. Even if they now have some kind of agreement on the system, it don't solve the BRI split issue.
If they want to have a full season this year, one side or both sides will have to give away $$.
in ay. I lay down to nap for a couple hours, wake up, and the whole things gone to .
Silly me, I really thought Lucy wouldn't pull the football away this time.
Well, my season ticket rep said the first round of refunds will go out around Nov 10th. In plenty of time for Christmas shopping.
I never get the over the top RJ hate. As much as you can blame RJ you should also blame TP and Pop for not using him correctly on offense. He plays best in the open court which also helps the Spurs. At the beginning of the year he was averaging 20. The Spurs decided to slow it down for no reason. The Spurs asked to sit in the corner and hit open 3's and he hit a career high 44%. You can fault his defense but I guarantee if you keep him involved on offense like most NBA players he will play harder on defense.
Hits the nail right on the head about how I feel.
Good grief.
He's just vastly overpaid. And the expectations when he first arrived just make matters worse.
5-6 mil a year player at most.
So since it sounds like talks broke down, should we expect a ruling this upcoming week?

The NBA will cancel regular season games through November 30th, a league source tells Y! Sports.
It's pussy & chicken for both sides to refuse to divulge the system agreements that they made. The bas s, in association with MSM play us like a banjo.
Yeeeeeeeeeees!
That ship has sailed, tbh... just show him the door...
And lol @ Stern trying to pull 47% again...
[[[Discussions about the salary cap system also proved problematic, Hunter said.
"We've told them that we don't want a hard cap. We don't want a hard cap any kind of way, either an obvious hard cap or a hard cap that may not be as obvious to most people but we know it works like a hard cap," Hunter said. "And so you get there, and then all of a sudden they say, 'Well, we also have to have our number.' And you say, 'Well wait a minute, you're not negotiating in good faith."]]]
That's what I thought. Stay strong, players.
Apparently they agreed to a higher luxury tax ratio, but with that kind of ratio, union wanted their 52%...
Fisher saying the deal is for *10* years...
I wouldn't be surprised to see a deal being reached in 2 or 3 days.
The next step would be obviously owners having a meeting about revenue sharing. If small market owners can convince big market owners to give them an extra $50M per year, we will have a full NBA season.
Fisher flew to LA after the meeting, so not sure anything happens this weekend.
