Signs of labor optimism: Team execs cancelling scouting trips, preparing for free agency. Agents quietly reaching out to teams on players.

I can't wait to see who we bring in free agency-wise and Kemba and Biyombo out there on the court together! I haven't been this hyped for a season in a while, just to see what we have.

Talks have broken down again. Turns out all that progress made yesterday was on most of the big items except the revenue split. Today owners still would not budge from a 50-50 split. Players lowered their demand from 53-47 to 52-48 but would not drop any lower.

Back to the drawing board.

Yep, the Union won't split the difference and the owners won't go all the way up to 2%. The biggest problem is Kessler and player agents. The players would have already dropped down to 51% if it wasn't for those two factors.

I said this from the start, for this deal to get done the Players are going to have to give up a lot. The owners gave up on a hard cap, lowering the MLE, guaranteed salary for players and there isn't going to be a significant raise to the lux tax. The only thing players have given up so far system wise is shorter contracts, smaller raises each season and the drop in overall salary that everyone knew was needed.

This isn't about the owners not wanting to go below 50/50, this is about the players not wanting to actually make any concede anything major that's needed for the NBA as a whole to survive. The salary reduction was going to have to happen no matter what and needs to happen. The BRI split going more in favor of the owners was going to happen. Owners having given up their 3 major points, the BRI split is going to have to go in their favor even more so then was originally assumed.

The only thing left for the deal to get done is for the players to go to 51%, that's it. Hunter left the table and said that the Agents and lawyers wont let me go below 52%. No possibility of a split to 51% ( a difference of 40 million dollars of the total of 4 billion dollars)

If I was the NBA, I'd lock the season out because of that. Demand a hard cap, eliminate guaranteed contracts, lower the MLE to 3 million and demand nothing lower then a 51-49 split. That's where this is going if the players don't move soon.

honestly this isn't that much of a shock....they dick around for a couple months....then on the verge of losing the season they make one "decent" effort, which of course falls short because they haven't been talking seriously for months

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
