    Fisher says union doesn't want to lose taxpaying teams as options for players with exceptions. That remains big issue.

    sam_amick: RT @deepsixer3: Hunter: "We did what [Stern] said [he] needed and it was like their eyes got bigger. They just wanted more and more."

    Hunter said when Stern told me last night he was prepared to make economic move, he "snookered me. ... He made a move. He went to 47."

    No further talks have been scheduled, though Fisher called it a "day-to-day process."

    Or maybe Hunter and Co did not understand the proposals from yesterday and felt that way once their economist told them about it today.

    B.Hunter said players did not move off asking for 52.5 percent on BRI split, and owners pulled 50/50 offer and went back to 47 percent.

    Someone was going to have to make a major concession for this deal to get done. Despite brief stretch of goodwill, in the end no one did.

    @AschNBA: Derek Fisher told me he's flying out to L.A. tonight. So weekend resumption of talks looks like no-go.

    @alanhahn: Hunter also said media was "snookered" by Stern's smiles and optimism last night. Players who were here for NBPA flying home.

    Waves of frustrated texts coming in from coaches/execs/support staff. Genuine belief there was a deal to be made this weekend.

    Privately, owners saying union left impression they would accept 50-50 if system issues were resolved, and that's why NBA returned to talks.
