    Stern talking about league giving "concessions" on allowing NBA players to be paid under current contracts. Amazing.

    Stern: Billy Hunter said he was not willing to go a pennny below 52. ... He closed up his book and walked out of the room.

    Stern: It's not practical, possible or prudent to have a full season now. We held out that joint hope together.

    Silver: In order to change the economic model that underpins this league, we had to reduce expenses across the board.

    Hunter is a fool, 50% and no rollbacks sounds fair.

    Why aren't the sides still talking? Stern: "Billy left the room."

    Stern: We're going to have to recalculate how bad the damage is. The NBA next offer will reflect the extraordinary losses that are piling up

    Stern essentially says: As the NBA loses more money with the cancellation of games, the players can expect owner's offers to get worse.

    Stern: "I would say both sides are very badly damaged..There will be two severe sets of losses, but that's what happens in a labor dispute."
