NBA Reaches Six Year Labour Deal For Players
The NBA owners and players reached a six year tentative collective bargaining agreement in New York. The deal raises the age to enter the draft by one year for American players and sets 19 as the international draft age. It raises the salary cap to 51 percent of revenues and guarantees 57 percent to players. Trades will be easier and teams must keep an average of 14 players on rosters. Arbitration will review suspensions over 12 games. The agreement avoids a work stoppage and starts amid a looming July 1 lockout threat.
