NBA CBA developments; Mayweather, Jr - Pacquiano, When are championships won?
June 20, 2011
NBA CBA news
Last Fridays meeting between NBA owners and players produced a "significant" development according to NBA Commissioner David Stern. Stern was referring to NBA owners coming off of their insistence on having non-guaranteed contracts in the next CBA. However, NBA players did not feel as strongly as Stern, claiming much more remains to be resolved. One of the biggest hurdles in the way is the owners demand to take the loopholes out of the salary cap, which would bring about a hard cap, as opposed to the current soft cap. Similar to the current stand-off in the NFL, the biggest issue to be resolved will be how to divide league revenue between the two sides.
