Talks about the lockout ending has occurred and they are expecting to have some games started by christmas! The talks started on Tuesday and was expected to continue through Thanksgiving day. There is still hope for the season to come back.
The plan was to start a 72 game season on December 15th, but the players did not agree to the last offer.
There will probably be a 66 game season if they decide soon enough. In 1998-1999, they had a 50 game season when the lockout ended that year and that didn't end till January. There is still hope of games this season! It will take roughly 30 days to start the season from the date that the agreement is made.
The players could be awarded with almost 6 billion dollars in damages if they don't settle this deal and risk a trial.
They are intended on a 50-50 split of all income that is basketball related, even though they were guaranteed 57 percent.
So there is still hope for a season this year more than likely after Christmas! Everyone stay tuned for more details!
