Can't help but think that this is all a we-tried charade by NBA, before getting back to squeezing, then eventually crushing union.

Yup.

And c'mon if the owners would destroy a deal worth billions of dollars over Garnett throwing a temper tantrum, they are dumber than I realized.

The owners didn't destroy anything. The players are dumb for letting KG barge into negotiations and telling the owners to screw themselves.

Not much to go on from Cohen's statement, but I can live with another day of meetings and no more games cancelled. At least for now.

Can't really expect much. Mediators aren't supposed to discuss anything. I'm surprised we even got that much.
