No deal

Union will take NBA's revised proposal under review for a few days and confer with the 30 player reps before acting on it.
No deal
Looks like no new meeting set. Players union will meet on Monday or Tuesday to discuss next steps. But not meeting tomorrow.

You have to be kidding me..
Kind of sounds like the players will accept the proposal, or that at least they will try to sell them on it.
Yeah they don't sound like they will right away reject it like the last one, but I don't know, things might change again.

Asked ownership source if this proposal is last, best before league delivers so-called 'reset' offer: "Looks that way to me," source said.
It's still a sh*t sandwich, but it looks like they are going to try and push this thing through.

Hunter on owners latest offer "It's not the greatest proposal in the world, but I have an obligation to bring it to (the membership)..."
Lol owners give more to the players and the union still won't give up dat pussy.
It's smart for the owners to not put a time limit on it IMO. It makes it seem softer to the players. Not forced. Almost a mind trick to say, this is a fair, final offer so we want you to really think about it and we don't want you to rush because this is as good as it will get.
lol commissioner joke fail.
What did he say?

League now. Stern: revised proposal attempts to meet union concerns, based on 72-game season starting Dec. 15
For context, Billy Hunter said something along the lines of "in our room, if you put the air on it was too cold, if you put the heat on, it was too hot..."
Stern said: "I want to clear up that I wasn't in control of their temperature. It was Adam."
No one laughed.
Lol I caught that too. That was so awkward.
Also said there is a timeline more or less, not that there wasn't one at all like Hunter said.
tbh, it's very likely that Adam Silver will be the next commish, and for the life of me I can't think of a guy that looks more of a bag than him. I think he's worse than Stern.
Smithers tbh.
. So DPG and everyone else, what % would you put on this deal getting done early next week...
So does all this affect anyone's belief on the lockout ending?
72 game season starting December 15th sounds good to me. Let's finish this already....
Really? No one ever boos him at the draft. Not saying I don't disagree.
Based on what I have heard from the players right there, I think there is a better chance than I thought before I heard them speak. I thought there was a 5% chance they came out with an agreement today because I saw no reason for the owners to all of the sudden change their minds and soften. However, it seems like for the first time the offer is good enough to at least try and pitch it, even if the deal is still really, really bad for players
I'd say about a 20% chance they get a deal done next week. 80% decertification or something along those lines.
