Lockout Standoff Deepens As Talks Stretch To 24 Hours
Negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement intensify after a lockout that has wiped out the season’s first 24 months. Grievances over a hard salary cap and Bird exception remain unresolved while both sides seek cost certainty and a fair revenue split. Weary by mistrust, Granik and Hunter push for more complex terms to reach a deal, with the 55 percent revenue threshold under debate as the key question.
