    12-hours and made some progress...

    I want this to end yesterday but I really don't want the system issues to be compromised. If you're not Chi/NY/BK/Mia/LA, your team could be left in a same situation that Denver and Utah are going through right now. They did get a lot in return but the other teams acquired BY FAR the best player in the trade(s). This trend has already begun and will likely continue with CP3 and Dwight Howard if the new CBA isn't fixed.

    Basically the players are willing to give up money to have the same system. The inmates are running the asylum. This needs to stop for the survival of the small and mid markets.

    Sad but true. Man I want to see some NBA so bad, but at what expense? All I can do is hold out hope that Superstars don't win championships.... :sigh:

    Something to remember:

    The Heat lost. The Knicks got swept.

    Source says a deal hasn't been reached between NBA and @TheNBPA, but reasons 4 optimism continue. And I haven't been the optimistic type.

    Mike Monroe: I'll say this about Checketts: Every time he's tipped me on anything (more than a few times) he was right on the money ... just saying

    For a big-money guy, Checketts is about as real and no-BS as they come.

    Ken Berger: Person in the room assures me that no agreement has been reached. They're about to hit the five-hour mark here in New York.

    Reminder: Even if Checketts' radio interview is accurate and sides have reached accord in NYC, owners & players must VOTE before it's a DEAL

    In addition, a person briefed on talks says deal is not done. Keep in mind, as @sam_amick points out, those in room very cautious.

    Players' side source in the room says of alleged agreement, "Not at all (true). We have yet to discuss our positions at all."
