KBergCBS Ken Berger by sam_amick Stern: I'm sorry to report ... that the first 2 wks of the season have been canceled. WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski Stern says that the first two weeks of season have been cancelled. WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski Stern: "we remain very, very apart on all issues." ChrisMannixSI Chris Mannix No deal
Just read on a Tweet. Amazing that they would let this crap happen again. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
ChrisMannixSI Chris Mannix Silver: We spent the last two days talking system. No progress No progress? I would have been okay with little progress or some progress, but to say no progress? WTF were they doing for the past 7 plus hours? Done with this crap. They deserve to lose money, just sucks for the arena workers who will be w/o a job now.
So sick of the owner's greed. Can we get a poll set up on who's side everyone's on? A. Owners B. Players C. Neither
ChrisMannixSI Chris Mannix Stern says two sides are nowhere close on luxury tax system ChrisMannixSI Chris Mannix Stern rattling off long list of issues sides are far apart on. Lots of them More games will be lost I bet.

More like players greed. KBergCBS Ken Berger Stern says owners' proposal would've raised average player salary from $5-$7m/year. KBergCBS Ken Berger Stern to fans: "I say that we tried awfully hard. We made, in our view, concession after concession."
It just got REAL. The union has to decertify , and sue in the hopes to regain the millions of dollars they will collectively loose over the next few months. If a framework for a deal is not in place by November 1. Any one who has interest over seas is going to take it. Some Cash and staying in shape is better then no money and getting fat.
sam_amick Sam Amick I'm surprised games canceled as opposed to postponed. Maybe this will get as ugly as we feared. As Stern said, offers get worse from here. WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski Stern suggests that owner's offers will get worse for players to account for NBA losses during missed games. Players really screwed up now.
Just start the league all over again and this time don't bend over for divas by promoting individuals over teams. over it.

WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski No new talks scheduled between the sides. For second time in Stern's tenure as commissioner, a lockout will cost regular season games. sheridanhoops Chris Sheridan 1st 2 weeks of season canceled, D.Starn says he is sorry. I have lost faith in the power of common sense. Dark night for NBA. ChrisMannixSI Chris Mannix Just amazed at how many issues they can't come even close to resolving. This could go awhile. WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski Classic Stern: Framing narrative about all the concessions owners gave -- rollbacks, guaranteed deals, hard cap -- were all owner proposals. WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski None of those "concessions" ever existed, except in owner's wild first proposal to players. But that becomes negotiating point for owners... WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski ...As opposed to the actual system that's in place now. This will severely hurt the NBA and I'm not sure they can recover from this. They will lose a chunk of their fans.
