There is no deal to end the NBA lockout yet and nobody’s quite sure how much progress is being made in the latest rounds of talks.

NBA Lockout: Optimism Flows As Encouraging Signs Emerge
Even more encouraging, perhaps, is this nugget from Adrian Wojnarowski.
Signs of labor optimism: Team execs cancelling scouting trips, preparing for free agency. Agents quietly reaching out to teams on players.
