Definitely not official, but official enough for the Sixers to call a Friday evening meeting for the sales staff.

I did for a while but I concentrated on group sales which was a whole lot easier (lots of benefits to offer) than season ticket sales. Season ticket sales are a brutal sale for them.

This has to be wrapped up pretty quickly, no way they call these people in tonight if it wasn't nearly certain.

Labor talks between NBA owners and players broke down Friday, just one day after both sides expressed optimism they were close to an agreement that could save the league’s 2011-12 season.

The impasse once again centered on the split of revenue or basketball-related income between the league’s owners and players. One source told Yahoo! Sports that the BRI split was only “partly” responsible for the breakdown in talks. The two sides also “couldn’t agree on the final pieces of the system.”

Given the progress owners and players have made this week, both sides could try to regroup and again resume talks before too long.

Interesting. The BRI has been the problem for a while from what I have read. I'll post more when I hear more, the main person I got this from is not just a regular sales rep.

it isn't because it's the players the fans come to see ... it's their jerseys they are buying ...

I am suprised by this. They must have been close but it seems weird since they have been stuck on the same number forever. There had to have been some reason it was relayed to teams that they were close. Sounds like the Nets were calling meetings too.

Sorry for getting everyone's hopes up with my post yesterday after my conversations with some of the NBA writers. Go figure that even in this it comes down to the Lakers and Celtics..

Can't wait to watch Stockton put the dagger in Houston's heart. That was an unforgettable moment in Utah back in 1997. I was in elementary school and remember so many people going nuts. Cool to experience...
