Adam Silver in an interview on Bleacher Report Radio warned the players’ union against opting out of the current collective bargaining agreement. The players’ union have until December 15, 2016 to give notice that they want to opt out.
“And if they do, we’ll deal with that,”
“As you guys know…there were a lot of things we left on the table, as well [in 2011]. We went into collective bargaining seeking—I don’t want to get into it now—but a number of things that we didn’t accomplish. And we compromised. And they compromised as well.
