    Derek Fisher slumped on a bench in the hotel lobby, looking like he went three overtimes on a back-to-back.

    Source who was in meeting on progress made in 16 hour talks: "Very little. Still not anywhere near a deal."

    I don't buy this at all.

    16-HOURS and made very little progress? I'm putting my trust in the guy from WFAN (NYC) :shh: and the lockout ends next week.

    Steve Nash........


    Thank you to the NBAPA, NBA and our mediator for working hard to find a resolution. I'm optimistic today.

    14 mayors write letter to #NBA owners and players urging end to lockout. Read shar.es/b7Hfb

    Don't expect today's session to be long. Stern has 30 owners in town he's supposed to see this afternoon

    Too bad none of them give a shit about anything or anybody but themselves, or that would have had some meaning

    No indication of progress yet. But continue to hear from sources that some owners prefer to miss season rather than accept bad deal.

    Jee, I wonder who these guys are. The owners of the Lakers and Bulls probably are vehemently against such a thought.

    FYI: Negotiations will work around BOG meetings beginning at 2. Owners will discuss proposed revenue sharing plan, so can't be put off...

    Not certain if labor talks continue if owners on rev sharing committee break for those meetings. If they stop, doesn't mean there's trouble.

    Cleveland #1 and Toronto for sure would be up there.
    Minnesota, Utah, Oklahoma City, Denver, Phoenix, Sacramento, Indiana, Charlotte, Milwaukee I would think are the more hard line owners unhappy with current CBA and pushing for NHL style reductions.

    Miami, Lakers, Knicks, Mavs loved previous CBA.

    Planning committee meeting scheduled for 2 p.m. has been postponed until this evening so bargaining committees can keep working.

    No it doesn't. It sounds like the owners have another meeting already scheduled, that was already postponed for later today

    That wasn't Wes' tweet. That was some fan saying it to Wes, who replied: "Im ready."
