    Silver says deal will largely prevent the high-spending teams from competing in the free-agent market like they have in the past.

    Hunter: Once we present it (to players), we're confident they will support it.

    Hunter credits "ability of the parties to compromise. ... Rather than pursue this in court, it was in both of our interests to compromise."

    Stern: We expect our Labor Relations Committee to endorse this tentative agreement ... we expect a CBA will arise out of this deal.

    Free agency, training camp will likely start at the same time

    Stern: If all goes smoothly, training camps will open Dec. 9. Season will be 66 game beginning on Christmas.

    We need a GM in the next 10 days.

    Am guessing the schedule will be changed quite a bit.

    Official press conference over. Handshakes all around. Between Stern and Fisher, Silver and Fisher, Stern and Hunter. The #NBA is back.

    Free agency and camps starting together on Dec 9 means teams like New Orleans and Boston will show up with just a handful of signed players.

    They are going to completely re-do the schedule I think. Wonder who we will miss out on, Eastern teams?
