Despite the two sides meeting twice this week, and another larger meeting scheduled for next week, Derek Fisher wants us all to relax even though optimism rose slightly the past few days.
When it comes to trying to figure out where NBA owners and players are in negotiations for a new deal, the one-time Knick and current players union VP Roger Mason Jr. apparently is no Perry Mason.
Mason’s contention that there will be an NBA season was challenged Thursday by Derek Fisher, president of the NBA Players Association, after owners and players met for close to six hours for a second straight day in Manhattan.
“Roger’s a very valuable member of our committee,” Fisher said. “I think he’s well-aware that we’re no closer to having a season today than we were at any other point. I think he’s clear on where we are now.”
Mason’s tweet on Wednesday – “looking like a season” – caused a bit of a stir since he did not attend that session or yesterday’s. Mason later claimed that someone had hacked his account.”
