Any potential NBA lockout related to collective bargaining remains a season and a half away, but as early negotiations proceed, it appears the players' association is firmly against the league's asking its players to reduce their portion of overall income.
What Hunter is preaching, 18 months before the fact, is that the players need to remain unified in case the owners impose a lockout for the start of the 2011-12 season.
Though he could not be certain of the contents of the proposal, Hunter said he expects the league to ask the players to reduce their take of basketball-related income from 57 percent to 50 percent.
