NEW YORK -- NBA owners and players reached a tentative agreement early Saturday to end the 149-day lockout.
After a secret meeting earlier this week, the sides met for more than 15 hours Friday, working to try to save the season. This handshake deal, however, still must be ratified by both owners and players.
"We've reached a tentative understanding that is subject to a variety of approvals and very complex machinations, but we're optimistic that will all come to pass and that the NBA season will begin Dec. 25," Commissioner David Stern said.
NBA free agency will open on December 9th and the Bulls will have a huge hole to fill at shooting guard. A week ago, Stephen A. Smith said the Bulls would sign Tracy McGrady as soon as the lockout was lifted. No thanks.
