    Just heard from 3 people who are, as we say, directly involved in talks. "Not true...long, long list of things to go." "He is wrong." "No."




    I am going to a family dinner tonight for a birthday and I will be checking Twitter and CF religiously. Please keep up the good work on getting updates across guys.

    No problem. I'm just now getting to the end of that interview and Checketts changes his tune at the end. He said during the interview he was getting contacted (texts, I assume) that it wasn't as positive as he was saying on the air. Starts at the 23:05 mark.

    Just listened to Checketts. He takes a strong stance and says he expects good news tonight but does offer one small qualifier...

    Checketts:"This certainly could, & has already in this negotiation over time, crashed into a wall.But I get a different feeling about this."

    Checketts' bottom line: "I've received a couple of phone calls from friends who are very close to the process...

    Checketts continued: "...who say 'We have a deal, and now it's a matter of getting everything straightened out.'"

    Yeah, it just felt like a deal was close today, and that they needed to go back to their own constituancy and vote.

    Looks like we have a season how u

    Isn't "getting everythign straightened out" part of "having a deal"?

    In addition to yesterday's union roster, Chris Paul and Theo Ratliff are in the house today.

    Actually (in David Stern voice), eight of nine players on exec committee are in attendance. All but James Jones, union says.

    ¿Podría alguien infiltrarse en la reunión entre NBPA y NBA, y decirme si tengo qué viajar a Usa o me quedo acá?

    Translation: Could someone infiltrate the meeting between NBPA and NBA, and tell me if I have to travel to USA or stay here?
