NBA players and owners agree in principle to a new labor deal

I heard the good news on Sportscenter early Saturday morning.

Training camps will open December 9th. There will be a 66 game season which will begin on Christmas Day with a tripleheader.

Best of all, this new agreement will be in effect for ten years, with an option for either side to opt out after six years.

Yay... the NBA is back!

I’m happy they were finally able to compromise on all the different issues, and that there will be an NBA season.

Chicago Blackhawks... 2010 Stanley Cup Champions
Chicago Bears... 2010 NFC North Champion
Orlando Magic... 1995 and 2009 Eastern Conference Champions

Heat vs Dallas on christmas day, the first day of the new season. How NBA is that ?

Still, very glad that the season will finally start. Euroleague is good for a while but I missed the show of the nba and the Magic. Gonna be a weird season for Orlando though.

Don't mind my spelling. I'm a Typo Master.
