Stern: ‘Greedy’ agents hurting chances of NBA deal
updated 10:40 p.m. ET Nov. 12, 2011
NEW YORK – Commissioner David Stern blames “greedy” NBA agents for trying to scuttle a new labor deal and believes they are trying to push their clients into a “losing strategy” of decertification.
And Stern states neither the threat of that process nor any request from the union will change the league’s negotiating position, repeating that there would be no further discussions about the revised proposal it offered Thursday. If players do not accept it, Stern reiterates that he will move to the harsher proposal that is waiting.
Stern is aware of the numerous comments from players criticizing the proposal, and fears they aren’t getting the proper information about its contents because agents worry it will cost themselves money.
Players will meet Monday and decide if they should vote on the proposal.

PBT: I can’t get around it any longer. They’ve broken me, and I’ve come to the conclusion based on everything in the past two days that it is inescapable. The 2011-2012 NBA season is actually going to be canceled.
