alanhahn Alan Hahn So for the record this was a 16-hour day, with more to come. Waiting to see if either side will address media or instead hold comment. KBergCBS Ken Berger Mediation over for the night/morning. Setting up times to continue later today, source says.
KBergCBS Ken Berger Day 1 of two-day Board of Governors meetings scheduled to begin later this morning. But this clearly takes precedence. KBergCBS Ken Berger Can't hazard guess as to what this means, but further talks later today has to mean there's some reason for it. WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski Meeting has ended after 16 hours and mediator, NBA and NBPA will be back later on Wednesday to talk more, source says.
KBergCBS Ken Berger League spokesman Tim Frank says mediator has asked both sides to refrain from commenting, and they are abiding. Is that good news? I don't know what to think anymore.
FisolaNYDN Frank Isola Billy Hunter leaves meeting at 2:17 a.m. Only comment, "we have a gag order." KBergCBS Ken Berger League spokesman Tim Frank says mediator has asked both sides to refrain from commenting, and they are abiding.
Can't imagine the level of suck right now to be one of those reporters having sat outside that meeting for 16 hours only to have them come out and say, "We're going to continue tomorrow."
I think good news. If it went bad one of the sides would have been complaining trying to gain public sympathy. By being quiet I feel like they are making progress and don't need someone to say something dumb.
Yep, no one is going to comment tonight. Also, they will have no time to sleep because they will be at it again at 10 am.
WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski NBA spokesman says mediator has "asked both sides to refrain from making public comments." Neither side will talk to media tonight. KBergCBS Ken Berger Mediation resumes at 10 a.m.
With a gag order as well. My guess is they're making some progress and they don't need any stupid comments from either side to the press to jeopardize it. We'll see.
WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski The NBA, NBPA and mediator will be back at 10 AM to continue talks. NBA owners in town for Board of Governors ... m.tmi.me/hiA6n Chris_Broussard Chris Broussard Waited 16+ hrs for this: "mediator asked both sides to refrain from making public comments. Both sides agreed," said spokesman Mike Bass.

WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski Derek Fisher slumped on a bench in the hotel lobby, looking like he went three overtimes on a back-to-back. CP3 Chris Paul by SpearsNBAYahoo WoW, 16 hours...I PROMISE we are trying!!! WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski "See you tomorrow," Fisher says. He means, "See you later today."
WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski Source who was in meeting on progress made in 16 hour talks: "Very little. Still not anywhere near a deal." Haaahaaa!!! I’m seriously not getting my hopes up for tomorrow. I’ve become very cynical with all this and think this cliffhanger today is just leading to a very tragic ending tomorrow.
