    Silver said NBPA moved to 52.5 percent. Told NBA if league won't move above 50 percent, there's nothing to talk about.

    KBergCBS: Silver said league was not willing to go farther than 50 pct and "there was nothing else to talk about."

    KBergCBS: Holt: "Both sides felt, for lack of a better term, stuck. We've sort of worn each other out."

    Silver declines to answer question about system issues other than saying still far apart.

    Just my opinion and not based on anything other than a hunch, but forget it about it guys. these idiots may not scrap the whole season, but no hoops until after New Years.

    As NBA tells its side of story, union is waiting to get its crack to spin things its way. This promises to get even uglier.

    darrenrovell: If NBA cancels next 2 weeks, players would have lost $400M. The difference in BRI is worth $800 million over 10 years!

    Spurs owner Holt believed things were getting too emotional and staying in talks now could've pushed two sides even further apart.

    Silver says NBA's stance is players weren't willing to move forward to make progress on a deal.

    Silver, "I've been more optimistic than I have been in other sessions. Obviously, I was disappointed."

    Asked if league would EVER go above 50-50, Holt says, "As of today, that's true. But in negotiation, you never say never."

    Silver says not just about money, but putting NBA in position where all 30 teams can compete.
