    The NBA and NBPA have made significant process on a new deal, according to two sources. The meetings will continue late into the evening.

    You're going to think my friend is a roofer. He (Meek?) brought a ladder with him. I'm very 'slow' on that bar.

    :dunno:

    They (NBA players) all talk like that over on Twitter.

    ...Except Channing.

    Not that anyone may care given events in State College, but we're at 10-hour mark in NBA labor talks...

    One key reminder on tonight's NBA meeting: Any significant changes to proposal probably means Stern will have to take back to constituents.

    Still sitting at hotel of NBA labor negotiations. My hunch is still that a deal will be done in principle by Friday AM latest.

    As night rolls on, my optimism on NBA deal being struck wanes. If they're grinding at this point, it's because fundamental divide remains.

    And, trust me, I hope I'm wrong. But we've read this script at least a couple times already. Including the optimism from team/agent sources.

    NBA labor talks that began at 1 pm EST still going. Reports of significant progress "not far-fetched," says source briefed about 1 hour ago.

    In only 3 years, Iverson has postponed playing in Detroit, Memphis, Philadelphia, Turkey, and now his own lockout exhibition game.

    Meeting over.

    I wonder if it's a bad sign that the two sides are coming to the PCs separately.
