NBA Lockout Still Nowhere Near Ending
One more week, 30 hours of negotiations, this time with a federal mediator George Cohen, with and without sick David Stern, and still, the NBA players and owners seem hundreds of millions of dollars apart, and more of the season getting cancelled is now in jeopardy.

First Two Weeks of 2011-2012 NBA Season Cancelled
Another deadline not met, and here we are. One hundernd NBA games cancelled, no basketball of the first two “planned” NBA weeks, and David Stern saying there was a significant gulf on virtually all issues.

No Hope of a Full NBA Season in 2011-2012
Nearly three months, and we’re still in the NBA lockout. Thursday labor talks between the owners and the NBA Players union didn’t get them and us anywhere, with too much dollars, percentages and other matters that just can’t be agreed upon.

Six Hours of Talks Don’t Bring NBA Lockout End any Closer
Well, Six hours later, and we’re still in the middle of the NBA lockout. Not that I expected David Stern, Adam Silver and Derek Fisher to fix everything and give up on billions of dollars in six hours. But still, at least according to what they’re saying or probably what they’re not saying, we’re not any closer to end the work dispute and get the 2011-2012 NBA season going.

Unless Some Miracle Happens, We’re Going to Have an NBA Lockout
No agreement on the length of the new labor deal. No agreement on the revenue sharing. There are other things as well, but despite David Stern’s fake optimism, the NBA seems on the inevitable path towards a lockout.

With no Progress Made in Friday Talks, NBA Lockout Seems Inevitable
Numbers being thrown back and forth, cool T-Shirts from the players and the usual political words from David Stern. Bottom line – We don’t have a proposal, no agreement between the players and owners. The NBA Lockout is very near.

As Owners and Players Present Proposals Hoping to Avoid Lockout, Eyes Turn to Friday
New hope or just glaring shots in the dark, aimed at nothing? Tuesday was the talk on friday – THE deadline. Now, we wait for friday, a day after the 2011 NBA drat, which hasn’t been getting the usual media coverage and talk it usually does. First of all, the talent pool this year isn’t as lucrative. Lockout notions are to blame. Sometimes, the talent isn’t that great. Although we can only be a judge of that in a few years I guess. For now, the future of the 2011-2012 NBA season is at hand.

The NBA Lockout Draws Nearer as Owners and Players Wait for Tuesday
Despite the NBA owner making the first gesture, taking the issue of the collective guruanteed contracts off the table, the gulf between the players and the owner is wide and filled with hundreds of millions of dollars. Quite a gap to close, huh? Too big to stop the lockout, the first since 1999, from happening?
