NBA rumors: NBA, NBPA not close to a deal on new collective bargaining agreement

2 months ago – via Marc Stein @ marcstein.substack.com
Far more crucially: Dec. 15, 2022, is also the deadline in the NBA’s current collective bargaining agreement for both sides — either the league or the players — to give notice that it is opting out of the existing labor deal. The NBA’s current labor pact runs through the 2023-24 season, but an opt-out from either side in the next nine days would sound immediate alarm bells because A) it essentially breaks the contract effective at the end of this season and B) it’s a measure that instantly makes the threat of a lockout tangible.

No matter where he lives, Baltimore will always hold a special place in Carmelo Anthony’s heart. It’s a reason why he returned to Charm City on Saturday to put on the first ever A Very Melo Classic. The high school basketball showcase featured three matchups with some of the best players and teams in the country taking part. “We want to keep building this, we want to make this annually,” said Anthony. “We want to keep growing, getting better, and giving these kids opportunities.”

Timberwolves president: Plenty of scenarios where D'Angelo Russell is our point guard for the future

Q: With D’Angelo Russell, he’s had a big year offensively. Helped you win a lot of games. Do you think you’ve seen enough that he can fit in long-term if you want him to be the point guard down the road? Tim Connelly: What I’ve seen is the guy put in a huge summer. He was in the gym all the time. I don’t think it’s coincidental he’s having such a good shooting year. Every time I looked up, he’s down there working out. He knew the expectations were risen this year. He challenged himself to have a better year. He’s such a basketball-obsessed guy. Nobody watches more college or NBA. He’s had a great year, a tremendous summer where he worked his tail off and certainly there’s plenty of scenarios where he’s our point guard not just now but for the future as well.
