    Well, it's pretty much last effort to get the players to agree to the 50-50 deal and system issues. If not, hello revised 47% deal and no season.

    The players basically want to run the league as they have been doing. What's broke in the NBA won't be fixed.

    Union first, then league. Certainly do not expect to hear of any breakthroughs tonight. Only question is whether they keep talking Friday.

    Ughhh...

    I can't stomach anymore of Fisher's bitchface in these press-conferences with Mo Evans, the mute, beside him smiling like a damned fool.

    Cliff notes please!

    Would expect union leadership will study proposal overnight, confer with players and meet with NBA again on Friday. No confirmation though.

    Fisher: We've worked at it for the as couple of days. Right now we have ... a revised proposal from the NBA. It does not meet us entirely.

    Fisher: We've decided to end things for now, take a step back .... confer with our player reps and other players over the next few days.

    Fisher: We still would like to continue to negotiate and try to get a deal done but right now, it's not that time.

    Fisher: What we found also over the last couple of days was that there were several other issues that were key to getting a CBA done.

    Fisher: On a couple of the issues, there was some change, there was some revision from the proposal we saw before.

    Fisher: I guess I remain in the same place as yesterday-nit enough progress to get a deal done

    BrianFromWA: It's amazing that you're 4 months into a lockout, 22 hours into a "last-ditch" negotiating session, and you still don't know what the effing issues are.

    Hunter: There has been some movement from the NBA, obviously not enough.

    Hunter says player reps won't meet until "early next week."

    Hunter won't say whether he would accept this deal or not. Wants to get players into New York Monday or Tuesday and see what they want.
