Ric Bucher: (3:42 PM ET ) Technical difficulties. I'm here with some breaking news -- look for a new labor deal to be reached early next week...Now let's go ahead and roll. Ric Bucher: (3:56 PM ET ) All I know right now is that it's a six-year deal and that the two sides hope to have a framework done by the weekend to present to their constituents. Next step would be to ratify the deal next week. This is good news because now there will be a summer league and we get to ckeck out Spanoulis.
