Tentative deal reached in lockout - New England Patriots Forums

NBA owners, players have tentative agreement - ESPN

Quote:

After a secret meeting earlier this week, the sides met for more than 15 hours Friday, working to try to save the season. This handshake deal, however, still must be ratified by both owners and players.

Stern said it was "subject to a variety of approvals and very complex machinations, but we're optimistic that will all come to pass and that the NBA season will begin Dec. 25."

Looks like the Celtics will begin on December 25th against the Knicks if all the pieces fall into place.

Fans need to occupy the arenas and keep the season from happening. Just kidding but seriously I hope they lose tons of money - greed is inreal.

Disappointing...

It sucks. It's the only bad news I have heard all weekend. Hopefully it doesn't work out and they lose the whole year. Not that I would be watching if it does come back.

damn i really wanted to see the nba lose the entire year. heres hoping the miami heat bus crashes into a pole or something. it would have been nice not to see those aholes on tv for a year. i cant wait to see what the celtics do next year with almost there entire roster open and plenty of cap room. they have no shot this year. but they will tease some into thinking otherwise. by the end of the year most of them will end up on the disabled list. goooooooooooo bruinsssssss. they are the best team in town now. who would have thought that.

So what center are the Heat going to sign, now that the CBA favors them and teams like them? Does anybody care? Is anyone paying attention?

Why does it favor them -- are you referring to the "amnesty" waiver or something else?

***ausbacker*** · 11-28-2011, 08:01 PM

I have to be honest and say I'll watch the season but don't care for it thanks to the lockout.

PatsFan24 and chicowalker like this. __________________ We get what we deserve. ------------------ “On a day when they could have had impact players David Terrell or Koren Robinson..they took Georgia defensive tackle Richard Seymour, who had 1 sacks last season in the pass-happy SEC and is too tall to play tackle at 6-6 and too slow to play defensive end. This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon.” -Ron Borges
