According to NBC Sports it appears as if Los Angeles Lakers guard and
head of the player’s union Derek Fisher has sent a text message to
various players around the league telling them to be physically ready
for the NBA season.
The league has been locked out since the former collective bargaining
agreement expired earlier this summer, and many people have been
expecting a long, strenuous period of negotiations that may cost the NBA
the 2011-12 season.
However, this new report is slightly more optimistic than the doom and
gloom reports that we were receiving earlier this summer.
Sports Illustrated is now reporting that Fisher has sent a text to the
players informing them that the 2011 season may indeed start on time:
“On the heels of Roger Mason’s now-infamous tweet in which the NBPA
vice president wrote, “Looking like a season. How u,” but later claimed
his account was hacked, one league source claims that union president
Derek Fisher text-messaged numerous players last week indicating that
some progress had been made and imploring them to be physically prepared
just in case the season started on time.”
While this certainly doesn’t mean anything until the owners actually
propose a new CBA, it is more encouraging than the reports that surfaced
back in July saying the season was going to be cut in half if not lost
entirely.
Until more definitive news arises this will stand as one of the few bits
of optimism concerning an agreement between the players and the owners.
Good to hear. I'm coming to California in December and could do with
my first ever NBA live experience.
