NBA Lockout Update: Deal Within Striking Distance!

Could the NBA lockout be coming to an end? At the very least, the two sides are much more cordial with each other right now. The last two bargaining sessions have ended with some optimism. Tonight, the optimism was at its highest level to date.

“I think we’re within striking distance of getting a deal,” said Billy Hunter.

Wow. That’s huge progress … relatively speaking, of course. Even David Stern is pointing at tomorrow as a potential breakthrough.

While definitely good news, we’ve seen this before. One step forward and two steps back has been the routine. Let’s hope this time is different.
