Sixteen Hours of Negotiations, Nothing to Report

Apparently George Cohen is a "lock both sides in a room and don't let them out until they reach an agreement" style of negotiator. The federal mediator met with the NBA and NBPA separately on Monday, then brought both sides together on Tuesday for an epic meeting that lasted sixteen hours and didn't break up until 2am.

The sides re-convened on Wednesday morning at 10 to continue talks.

The fact that they continue to talk can only be taken as a positive, but both sides have agreed not to discuss the proceedings with the media for now.

The NBA's board of governors is scheduled to meet Wednesday evening and Thursday; with a little luck, they'll have the framework of a new labor agreement on their agenda.
