NBA Lockout: NBA to delay start of preseason

With the NBA season coming right around the corner, the NBA lockout still glooms as NBA commissioner David Stern formally cancelled exhibition games and training camps for the first two weeks in October. On Thursday, Adam Silver the deputy commissioner, met with the union executive director Billy hunter and president Derek Fisher to discuss the lockout and the possibility of ending it. However one source has said that "both sides dug in," meaning that there is little hope of the lockout ending soon. So far the league has canceled 43 exhibition games between October 9-15. The final weeks of the preseason are in danger of being postponed as well as the November 1 start of the regular season. Even if a new labor agreement is agreed upon, it will still take a few weeks for the lawyers to look over and iron out the details for both parties to sign. With the memories of the NFL lockout still fresh, many sports fans are disappointed with the NBA lockout still roaring on.
