NEW YORK – In the latest meeting between the players’ union and the owners, there wasn’t much dialogue being exchanged but one message was clear by both sides, nobody wanted an NBA lockout. Just like the last time there was an NBA lockout, the league is flourished with young talent and promising current/future all-stars. This time however, the latest meeting featured three of the league’s biggest stars in Lebron, Wade and Carmelo Anthony who tagged along with Chris Paul to the meeting in New York.

According to local reports, the meeting wasn’t a harsh one, as there was no tension however some witnesses beg to differ. Sources say that at the sighting of Lebron, Wade and Carmelo, an owner immediately exclaimed that he’s not intimidated by their presence. It may have been laughed off in the beginning but that statement set the tone through out the meeting. Unfortunately, an agreement wasn’t in place at the end of the meeting, but the players union considered an offer by a couple of the disgruntled owners.

It hasn’t been confirmed but there have been rumblings about the current Nets and Houston Rockets owners being advocates of proposing a 5 on 5 game between the owners and the players. Again, it was shrugged off but the tension in the room killed the comedy and the stern look on the faces of the owners would make the greatest skeptic believe this was a real proposal. The players union responded that they will take the offer into consideration and get back with them at the next meeting. As both sides left the facility, an owner playfully took a basketball that was used as a display prop and shot it towards the other display prop which was a basketball hoop. Needless to say, the owner missed as the ball crashed thru the glass window on the 8th floor of the building they were in, landing on an innocent bystander’s head in the process.

We’ll cover this story as more developments occur.
