Stern blames the greed of agents do not reach an agreement for the 'lockout'

The NBA commissioner, David Stern, has accused the agents of "greedy" for trying to thwart the labor agreement, and noted that its customers are leading to a "losing strategy."

Stern returned to make clear that neither the threat nor a request for marriage will change the negotiating position of the league, and there will be further discussions on the revised proposal that was offered last Thursday. If players do not accept it, Stern reiterated a proposal to move them harder.

The commissioner of the NBA is aware of the many criticisms that players are making the proposal, and fears that these are not receiving adequate information about its contents , because the agents are concerned that they will cost money.

"Through a combination of lies and greed, agents are looking after their interests rather than by the customer. They are involved in what appears to be an orchestrated campaign 'Twitter' and a series of interviews that are designed to deny the economic reality of the proposal, "Stern said in a telephone interview collected by 'nba.com'.

"Nobody is talking about increasing the compensation under the agreement, no mention of the amount of money spent. I think the players are not getting accurate information from their agents, have joined in a sort of coalition of greedy and liars, because the agreement would lead to fewer opportunities for actors to take to do business, "said Stern.

"Concerned" about the union's dissolution.

However, for the players is not good enough, and might be thought to take the union to sue for antitrust League .

And if the process is much longer, Stern is possible to lose the hope of a 2011-12 season. "I'm worried because they are talking about this thing called dissolution of the union, which is not a winning strategy and not a good omen for the season," he added.

"The agents tend to misunderstand and all they do is slow things down. They think that if the players come to this extent, then the league will change its offer. And that does not happen as a result of this is a losing strategy for them, "said the leader.

Stern also confirmed that no further discussion on the revised proposal . If the players reject the following proposed revenue sharing will be 53-47 in favor of the owners.
