Jeff Zillgitt(2011,Nov 28) NBA deal not perfect but sides can go with it. US today Retrieved november 28, 2011http://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/story/2011-11-27/NBA-deal-not-perfect-but-sides-can-go-with-it/51428032/1


NBA was locked out, almost two months, because NBA players had negotiated raising up their income with owners. The negotiation had been failed many time, but finally they finally had a deal. Jeff Zillgitt states (2011, Nov 28) that "instead of the NBA winning in a rout, the players scored important deal points in the final hours of negotiations with the league and made the outcome respectable. Those include concessions from owners on annual raises and the mid-level exception, which allows clubs to surpass the salary cap and luxury tax threshold to sign free agents"  It became clear to begin 2011-12 NBA season on Dec 25 on Christmas, but their negotiation is still not result that players expected perfectly, and the detail of the deal has still been talked.
