    Response from players is, predictably, angry. But most of the frustration is with the union. Lot of players don't have a problem with 50-50

    The idea that the season was going to start on time was absurd to begin with. Now it's a question of how much time will be missed?

    I love the idea of a shortened season.

    The Players are making stupid demands, 50-50 sounds pretty damn fair. If not generous as hell in this economic climate.

    The late cancellation of Miami meeting has many wondering if union's huddling instead with NBA on Sunday, but I have no confirmation on it.

    Sudden cancellation of NBPA's meeting in Miami will fuel speculation that owners, players will try one more time to get a deal.

    Unclear if two sides will meet, however. But timing of cancellation--when many players were already in Miami for FIU game--is curious.

    The NBPA had regional informational player meetings set up in Miami and LA for Sunday and Monday, respectively. Memo says LA's still on.

    Via union source: Meeting was scheduled for Sunday but players in Miami for FIU game requested it be held on Saturday night. So they had it.

    So yes, union talked with players in Miami on Saturday; will meet with more in LA on Monday. And NBA will cancel first two weeks of season.

    In Miami meeting on Saturday night, union source says players were united on holding firm at 53 percent of BRI. Owners want 50-50 split.

    To be clear: Stern's said he will cancel first two weeks of season if no deal by Monday. No new reporting here. Just assuming no deal.

    So here's where we are: At their previous % of 43, owners would get $11.3B/six years... at 50 pct, they'd get $13.1B ...

    At 48.5 vs. 51.5 for players -- a sensible midpoint between positions -- owners would get $13.5B/six years ...

    At 48.5 pct, owners would be $367M/year better off that previous deal, which more than addresses $300M annual loss ...
