Who boo's the second man in charge?
I think it's "over" but anything can happen.

I don't know I just really hate Stern. I don't know Silver that much.
NBA Will Play 72-Game Season If Deal Accepted
Nov 10, 2011 11:21 PM EST
David Stern and Adam Silver addressed the media following Thursday's bargaining session.
"We've had another couple of intense days," said Stern. "A couple hours ago, after Peter Holt and I were in touch with the labor relations committee, we made a revised proposal to the union to address their concerns as best we could."
Stern says they are looking to have a 72-game season with the first games beginning December 15th, if a deal is reached.
The clock on their offer will remain stopped until the player representatives have a chance to review it. If the deal is not accepted, the owners will revert back to their 47% offer.
Stern said that some players may not like the deal and that certain owners don't like the offer.
If the players accept the offer, the 2012 NBA Playoffs and Finals will be moved back one week, according to Silver.
"There comes a time where you are done negotiation and we are," said Stern.
"We await the response from the union. We've done our best," said Stern.

I don't like how everyone has the whole weekend to think about it but it seems like the players will take the deal early next week if the owners don't all the sudden have a change of heart.
No way they decertify.
They don't have to actually decertify. They can do a few things "along those lines".

Deals typically done when both sides see something they don't like but could live with. Hunter and Stern both sound that way tonight.
god to think their could be basketball next month....*fingers crossed*
The players just can't win, the ball has always been in the owners' hands. If they decertify, or do anything "along those lines" things will get incredibly ugly. Accepting this revised offer if the only thing close to victory that the players can experience. They called the bluff, they forced the owners to make a better deal, it's enough, let's have some bball by christmas.
This system has the potential to change things big time.
Tree of Woj:
Several agents tell Y! Sports they have 200-plus player signatures for union decertification pe ion and paperwork could be filed Friday.
This whole thing is dumb....Spurs are done anyway, so cancel the season, decertify, move the team, I don't gaf....
tpark, solid d, dizzg.....
Pop and drunk ass DWI gettin RC Buford.....
matt bonner....
Malik Rose's contract...
the Spurs.
So, they're signing off on not decertifying? or they are signing on decertifying?
yacht, and its jordan playing hardball....The owners didnt get rich by owning a team.
How could they sign off on decertification if Hunter and Fisher havent even proposed the new deal to the players yet?

The seven major agencies will likely get together on a conference call Friday, but nothing scheduled yet, agents say.

For players, start of the decert process doesn't preclude them from agreeing to owners proposal next week. Yet it does give them options.

Don't have full details of revised owners' proposal, but league barely moved on most of important system issues, sources say.

From team executives to agents, a lot of questions about why union needs to wait until Monday or Tuesday to bring player reps to New York.

Hearing from players, most very interested to see how far the NBA moved on the tax issues.

Owners' new offer includes new $2.5 mill exception.Also, will raise minimum payroll for teams (used to b 75% of cap, will now b much higher)
Per Danny Green:

Shut up scrub, and accept it.....
I predict another two day session next week ending with a deal.
