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

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
