NBA Nuclear Winter, European exodus reportedly over

No Odom in Turkey, after all. Bummer.

And just when things were starting to get interesting … D-Will going for 50 points, Lamar Odom and his reality-show entourage were set to join him in Turkey, CSKA Moscow winning without their AK-47…

About two hours ago, CBS Sports reported that a deal had been reached between the NBA Players Association and owners, with the 2011-12 season to begin with a tripleheader on Christmas Day.

Ran the reportage, in part: “After 16 hours of negotiations Friday, the two sides reached a handshake agreement a little after 3 a.m. ET in New York. Both sides must still get vote approval from owners and players to finalize the agreement, as well as negotiate a series of smaller issues like a drug testing policy.

“‘We’re optimistic that the [agreement] will hold and we’ll have ourselves an NBA season,’ NBA commissioner David Stern said at a joint brief news conference held in New York with Players Association executive director Billy Hunter and president Derek Fisher.”

Ah well, BallinEurope supposes that it’ll be nice to see the big league tip off again (not to mention *finally* getting some questions answered vis-à-vis Enes Kanter and Ricky Rubio), BiE’ll surely always look back on the 2011 NBA infusion into Europe with fondness.

    Finally… It is almost over. There are still some things to be resolved, but we will have NBA on Christmas, and that is the most important thing right now. Sooner we forget about lockout, the better…

    It’s too bad but I’m glad the NBA is starting. Some players really made an impact in their short time in Euroleague.
    Nicolas Batum: 2nd in rankings and two player of the week awards
    Jordan Farmer: On 5-1 Maccabit Tel Aviv and one player of the week award
    and lastly
    AK-47: 1st in rankings, 1st in rebounds, on 6-0 CSKA Moscow and two player of the week awards and a player of the month award.
    Way to represent!

    I would’ve loved to attend the Venezia-Olimpia Milano game in December to see Gallinari (chances are I’m going anyway), but as a huge NBA fan I’m extremely happy the lockout’s about to be over. Thankfully.
