    Lockout talks done for today and forseeable future. Players offered to go to 53 percent, owners went to 47, according to Derek Fisher.

    Fisher: "We did not feel a move from 46 to 47 percent was large enough to close the gap that still lies there."

    Hunter: There are no scheduled meetings. Maybe a month, or two months. It's your guess.

    WojYahooNBA: Hunter: "As of this moment, we've broken off the negotiations..." Now it's up to one side to pick up phone and set up another.
