NBA Owners Reach Tentative Deal With Players – With Video



Nov 26, 2011 1 Comment ›› Pat Dollard

NEW YORK (AP) — Now that there’s a handshake deal on a new labor agreement, NBA Commissioner David Stern and union executives must persuade owners and players to approve it, guaranteeing a Christmas Day tripleheader.

After a 149-day lockout, owners and players reached the tentative deal early Saturday. It comes at a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars for both sides, on top of the fans and jobs that were lost during the stalemate. And it leaves the NBA with its second shortened season, with the hope of getting in 66 games instead of a full 82-game schedule.

The lockout isn’t quite over, but it appears the NBA’s nuclear winter will be avoided.
