As the previous collective bargaining agreement is set to expire, NBA owners have said that the majority of them are losing money, so in the new agreement players need to agree to conceions that will allow the owners to continue to maintain their teams.Players have countered that the league is setting records with TV and ticket revenue, and only a few teams are losing money.
Owners have once again discued the poibility of a hard salary cap, eliminating the many exceptions that currently exist in the NBA\'s salary structure (such as the \"Larry Bird\" exception and the midlevel exception).The league says those exceptions have led to player salaries that are too high, resulting in those huge loes.The owners are looking for cost certainty out of the next collective bargaining agreement, which they want to put in place for the next 10 years.The players are looking to protect their percentage of the league\'s basketball-related income (BRI) and want a shorter agreement.
While most of the disagreements between the league and the union center around financial details and the amount of money each side is earning, the league and players also disagree on the current age limit for players entering the league.The two sides have held multiple meetings to attempt to put together a new collective bargaining agreement, with both sides putting proposals on the table, however little progre has been made. 概述 NBA是目前在一个锁定，即7月1日开始，2011年后，以前的集体谈判协议已过期。该联盟的所有者和球员已经谈判一项新的劳资协议，直到2011年6月30日，但双方仍相距甚远的条款，在锁定了球员的业主产生。这是NBA历史上第三大停工。
