We have aligned on key elements of a new collective bargaining agreement together. The deal comes 17 months after the players opted out of their previous agreement and five months after the previous deal was initially set to expire, with talks oftentimes becoming contentious. But on the heels of a week-long stretch of marathon bargaining sessions, the league and players union came to a tentative agreement on a transformational deal.
We want to play. We've heard that from the other side as well. We need to see a more robust demonstration of that. That first day was a lot, but I think what we're feeling is like movement, you know, being able to be in the room, being able to exchange proposals.
