The Official S2 NBA Lockout Thread!

David Stern: "We're trying to see if there's (something) we can go back to our respective sides with."

 

Stern sighs when asked about progress.

 

Stern: We're not failing and we're not succeeding.

 

Stern: there are many issues of importance. It behooves us to make sure all those issues are put on the table

 

That's it for league side. Union leaders Billy Hunter and Derek Fisher up next.

lol. that malfunctioning mic has to be symbolic of how this whole no deal today bullshit feels for me.

 

Fisher: We won't be able to elaborate on any details or any significant progress.

 

#The NBPA's Derek Fisher: "We spent a lot of time covering all of the issues that we still have remaining. But we can't say there was ...

 

Fisher on 50-50: What we stated yesterday was an openness and a willingness to come off of our number.

 

Derek Fisher: If we continue to make concessions on BRI split, they're should be more (concessions) from NBA on the system.

 

Fisher: Not as much as we'd like ( re: NBA being receptive to union's willingness to make economic move).

 

Fisher: Obviously, we'd have a deal done if the right flexibility was being shown.

 

Hunter: I think there was enough give and take on both sides to warrant us coming back tomorrow.

 

Derek Fisher: Can't characterize whether (owners) showed flexibility or not. Fact we don't have deal shows still a lot of work to be done.

 

Fisher: "We're going to meet again tomorrow to give it our best effort, but we don't know if it will be enough."

 

tribjazz: Billy Hunter: "There are so many issues that haven't been resolved."

 

Hunter says 53-47 rollback was not brought up during Wednesday's meeting.

 

lol. WTF is Mo Evans doing here? All he ever does at these PCs is smile ear to ear at every question.

 

Hunter: didn't make much headway on any of the five system issues
