"We came to the conclusion that the whole negotiation process is totally ruined," said Executive Director of the Association of basketball, Billy Hunter. The last offer was for the league split revenues 50-50 between owners and players, and if it was approved, the NBA season would start on 15 December. Competitors, however, for most of the money, since until last year received 57 percent.

Commissioner David Stern, the league revealed that Basketball Association last move is expected of players. "We have submitted a claim for unfair bargaining at the National Works Board.

Stern added that if players have not accepted the last offer, the next will be reduced to 53-47 percent in favor of the owners.
