    Hopefully they can agree to either have a Hardcap or a better implemented soft cap (like only being able to go over the cap to resign players you have drafted) by Tuesday, or at least have enough progress to extend the deadline. If we the deadline gets extended I think that'll mean there close.

    losing the sign & trade would keep alot of salaries down too, if they really want to leave, they would have to take alot less money, thereby taking alot of their leverage away in negotiations with their own team

    I think Sheridan nailed it in his column. The Sternmeister is going to twist the rack a little tighter after today. This sucker is headed for a lockout.

    Any guesses as to when/if there will be games played next season? I'd go with January at the earliest.

    Stern: NBA proposed a targeted $62 million cap. As far as league's best offer? "It's all out there." Wouldn't call it "final" though.

    Stern says new deal would guarantee players $2 billion in annual salaries over 10 year deal. "Our best shot .." to get a deal done.

    NBPA will continue to resist hard salary cap, and impossible to imagine owners backing down on it prior to June 30th deadline.

    At end of labor meeting, still "big gaps" one official says between two sides. Meeting again on Friday. Some movement, civil meeting.

    This is encouraging. i think they are headed towards a better system. As long as Stern and Hunter can keep their ego's and Mouths in check, we may see BB in November after all. But that is a big IF. I just don't trust Stern.
