Stern wants to keep labour out of court dispute

 Commissioner David Stern hopes that the NBA is not the NFL lead and retains its labour dispute with the union of the courts.

Stern said litigation is "not appropriate to make an agreement."

"To understand us what looks like a chaotic situation, so we do not need to give the negotiating process to a process that is far from controlling,", he added.

All he has to do is watch the NFL, where locked players and owners are embroiled in a conflict that is playing in the Court.

NBA current collective agreement, expires June 30, and Stern made it clear the owners will be lock players if an agreement which gives them the financial recovery, they are research cannot be achieved.

The League sent a revised proposal for a new deal to players last week, and ESPN.com reported Wednesday they balk balking, saying it is too close to the original, they rejected in February 2010.

Asked about this report, Stern handed the microphone to Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver, said talks are underway and that other meetings with Union leaders are put in place.

"It will be a long process," he said. "But we are working towards a deal."

Step since 1998 the League has a work stoppage, and although Stern said, there do not think that it is coming, he also warned the players that the deal offered to them before expiry of the current ABC can be more favourable than that they could be presented after the games have already been lost.

Stern also defended the right of its owners to profit from their investments. Although the League provides 300 million in losses this season, the initial proposal of the League for a new ABC sought to reduce the costs of salary of approximately $ 750 million player each year.

Quickly, the players rejected this proposal, which also requested a hard salary cap replace the current system which allows certain exceptions. Players sent a counterproposal this summer, but the League was not interested, and no there was no progress.

In other areas, Stern said that he could see three teams in the Los Angeles area. Despite this, he was "very, very pleased" that the Kings are staying at least another year, rather that pass from Sacramento to Anaheim.

"The results so far in sponsorship, season tickets and enthusiasm are extraordinary," he said.

He also said the League "is working very hard" to keep the Hornets in New Orleans.

"I think that we will deliver the franchise soon in a way that there will be more than one owner interested in buying the Hornets and keep the team in New Orleans, if the Community Affairs on his promises to support"says."

Stern spoke before the second game of the Conference semi-final is between the Bulls and the Atlanta Hawks at the United Center, where he presented Derrick Rose, the MVP trophy before the end of the opening.

"I know he is the youngest MVP, it deserves the price he gets this evening", the Commissioner told journalists. "It was a heck of a season." ... You can check all this. It is a heck of a player, and if we can keep in good health, it will have some career. ?
