Negotiations between NBA players and owners will continue today after commissioner David Stern's deadline for the Players Association to accept the owners' latest proposal passed without being rescinded. The offer was to be pulled and replaced by "a worse one" if it wasn't accepted by players by 5pm Wednesday. Instead, players and owners were given one more session of negotiations to agree to terms before moving to the second offer. At issues is the split of basketball-related revenue between the league and players, as calls increase for the union to decertify, enabling players to file an anti-trust suit against the league.
