    NEWS ONLY Lockout thread

    Hi folks,

    This will serve as a news-only/article-only thread that is designed to be constantly updated with the same stories that get shared in the Lockout News and Discussion thread, with the difference being that, here, there is ABSOLUTELY NO DISCUSSION WANTED.

    This is for people who want to catch up on and/or review the news and articles about the lockout without having to wade through all of the discussion that comes along with it.

    So this thread should only be a collection of links and/or pastes of articles and videos pertaining to the lockout, and any commentary by posters will be removed, though you should know not to do it in the first place, too.

    The problem that might occur here is that not enough people make the effort to post their news in both threads.

    That is on you if you are one of the people who complained about having to go through 6 pages of arguing just to find there was no news buried inside. You wanted something clean and to the point? Here it is, but you all have a share of the responsibility in keeping it as updated as the discussion thread.

            Chris Broussard just came on ESPN and said the only thing he's heard from inside the room today is that Cohen has brought a sense of compromise to both parties and that things are going "well." Broussard went on to say that that doesn't mean a deal will get done tonight but they could perhaps agree to some minor things.

            Sorry for no link, just saw this 3-4 minutes ago on ESPN.

                By Chris Sheridan

                NEW YORK — It’s a full house here at the NBA lockout talks, with every member of the owners’ labor relations committee and every member of the players’ executive committee in attendance (with the exception of Keyon Dooling), along with a federal mediator. We’ve even got an extra Buss, with both Jerry, and his daughter, Jeanie, sitting in the negotiating room.

                As the clock neared 6 p.m., the sides had been meeting for almost eight hours. The most colorful anecdote from the press room was when the union, upon hearing the league had send cookies to the media room, responded by sending ice cream bars.

                Representing the owners are Peter Holt (San Antonio), Clay Bennett (Oklahoma City), Mickey Arison (Miami), Mark Cuban (Dallas), Jim Dolan (New York), Dan Gilbert (Cleveland), Wyc Grousbeck (Boston), Larry Miller (Portland), Robert Sarver (Phoenix), Glen Taylor (Minnesota) and Bob VanderWeide (Orlando).

                Representing the players are Derek Fisher, Maurice Evans, Chris Paul, Theo Ratliff, Etan Thomas, Matt Bonner, Roger Mason and James Jones.

                Mediator George Cohen met with the sides separately on Monday, and commissioner David Stern has said Tuesday’s talks were crucial.

                The league’s Board of Governors, with one representative from each of the league’s ownership groups, is meeting Wednesday and Thursday in New York.

                For a rundown of where the sides began the day, and the details of what they are fighting over, click here for yesterday’s column on that subject.

                  Now the city of Memphis is considering suing the NBA:

                  The city of Memphis will consider suing the NBA and the Grizzlies to recoup losses caused by the ongoing NBA lockout, according to Lauren Lee of MyFoxMemphis. Memphis' city council approved a resolution on Tuesday that allows city staff to explore paths to reimbursement, including litigation, should the city be forced to pick up the tab for up to $18 million in bond payments usually covered by revenue generated at FedEx Forum by Grizzlies home games.

                  The league has cancelled all of the preseason and the first two weeks of the regular season while negotiating off and on with the players' union over salary concessions and salary cap changes. NBA commissioner David Stern has warned he will cancel all games through Christmas if a deal is not soon reached. As Memphis' city council approved the resolution allowing for a lawsuit on Tuesday, league and players' union officials were stretching toward their ninth hour on negotiations under the guidance of federal mediator George Cohen.

                  The FedEx Forum in Memphis, like many NBA arenas, is owned by the public. Reports have suggested that over the past decade, the public has funded $1.75 billion of the $2 billion in construction costs sunk into NBA arenas.

                    The NBA and NBPA have been behind closed doors for nearly 11 hours. This is the longest meeting the two sides have had since lockout began.

                      Asked an agent with knowledge of negotiations if the length of talks signals a deal tonight. "No way this is getting done tonight," he said.

                      Remember Cohen had 17 sessions with NFL with no deal. He has 1 day and tons of unresolved issues. Lower expectations.

                      David Aldridge is reporting on NBATV that if legitimate progress is being made tonight, there is plenty of time this week from them to continue, even with Board of Governors meetings this week.
