It looks more and more like the start of the NBA season will be compromised. Labor talks broke down Tuesday without progress and no new talks are scheduled. The players' latest proposal offered to give back more in exchange for keeping the current flexible salary cap, but owners want a hard cap. Union chief Billy Hunter told reporters the players have been advised they may have to sit out half the season before a deal gets done. The NBA locked out the players July 1st after the collective bargaining agreement expired. Training camps are slated to open October 3rd, with the start of the regular season November 1st.
