Stern: Our last position anticipated 50-50 so we've got lots of things to talk about.
 
David Stern: "We've got lots of things to talk about. But I don't want to talk about our current state of mind or where exactly we are."
 
Silver: The competitive issues are independent of the economic issues.
 
Stern: League did not drop proposal back to 47 percent, won't do so until after current negotiating session ends.
 
Stern says #NBA will drop offer and go to "reset" if/when negotiations that started Wednesday end.
 
I don't see how a deal is made unless the players take the deal

I just don't think the owners are going to back off their system issues.
 
Stern: We weren't going to stop in the middle. We're trying to demonstrate our good faith...
 
Stern: Every day that we lose another game it just enhances the case to make a deal and causes both sides to recognize the damage.
 
Stern: "It was understanding going in that at end of .the session, whether it ends today or tomorrow, that's when our offer reverts."
 
David Stern: "We're trying to see if there's (something) we can go back to our respective sides with."
 
Stern: We're not failing and we're not succeeding.
 
Stern: there are many issues of importance. It behooves us to make sure all those issues are put on the table
 
That's it for league side. Union leaders Billy Hunter and Derek Fisher up next.
 
lol. that malfunctioning mic has to be symbolic of how this whole no deal today bullshit feels for me.
 
Fisher: We won't be able to elaborate on any details or any significant progress.
 
#The NBPA's Derek Fisher: "We spent a lot of time covering all of the issues that we still have remaining. But we can't say there was ...
 
Fisher on 50-50: What we stated yesterday was an openness and a willingness to come off of our number.
 
Derek Fisher: If we continue to make concessions on BRI split, they're should be more (concessions) from NBA on the system.
 
Fisher: Not as much as we'd like ( re: NBA being receptive to union's willingness to make economic move).
 
Fisher: Obviously, we'd have a deal done if the right flexibility was being shown.
 
Hunter: I think there was enough give and take on both sides to warrant us coming back tomorrow.
 
Derek Fisher: Can't characterize whether (owners) showed flexibility or not. Fact we don't have deal shows still a lot of work to be done.
 
Fisher: "We're going to meet again tomorrow to give it our best effort, but we don't know if it will be enough."
 
tribjazz: Billy Hunter: "There are so many issues that haven't been resolved."
 
Hunter says 53-47 rollback was not brought up during Wednesday's meeting.
 
lol. WTF is Mo Evans doing here? All he ever does at these PCs is smile ear to ear at every question.
 
Hunter: didn't make much headway on any of the five system issues
