HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL

It may be a make-or-break meeting or it could lead to a delay and much worse, a total wipe-out of the 2011-12 season. The scheduled meeting on Wednesday (Thursday morning, Manila time) will be the second time between the league owners and the players union since the NBA lockout began last July 1. Everyone in the league including the fans worldwide are all hoping that something good comes out of the conclave and save the coming season. Player agent Billy Duffy says the coming meeting will be a serious one that could probably decide whether or not there would be an NBA campaign next season, according to Yahoo! Sports.


“This is a telltale meeting. I think we will know the seriousness of both sides’ position after Wednesday. I don’t think the season starts on time. There really has been no progress. The union has been patient on hoping there would be movement on the league side. The league hasn’t demonstrated any movement whatsoever while the union is flexible.”
