    From the sound of it the players thought that they had a ton of leverage so they asked for more then just system changes and it pissed the owners off. Both sides seem way to prideful. Goodbye NBA season.

    I can't believe these guys are going into their 14th hour meeting!!!! I wonder if they are just arguing or what? How can you meet that long and NOT come to an agreement?

    Shocked that this is over. Rumors of PA selling the team kinda neutralizes my excitement though.

    Now I think we all need a refresher course of this roster!

    Agreement will be followed reforming of the union, which must be recognized by the owners -- a formality, pending finalization of details.
