NBA lockout talks picked back up on Tuesday after an idle 10 days, reports Yahoo!‘s Adrian Wojnarowski. Representatives from the players’ side and league got together outside the view of the media on Tuesday and were expected to meet again Wednesday with hopes of reaching a deal before NBA commissioner David Stern was forced to kill the traditional Christmas Day slate of games.
NBA Lockout Talks Quietly Restarted On Tuesday, Says Report
Stern has said the league needs 30 days from handshake to tip-off, making Friday the apparent deadline to get a deal and preserve the Christmas schedule. The league has already cancelled games through December 15; there is little chance (if any) that there will be even 70 games per team on the schedule if a deal is reached this week.
On November 14, the players’ union’s leadership rejected the league’s latest offer and, instead of seeking further negotiations before escalating the fight, disclaimed interest in representing players, clearing the way for anti-trust litigation against the league.
