No timetable for "announcement", could come tonight, could come tomorrow, but "positive news will come, deal is in place". #NBA

Source in the room on Checketts: "100 percent false."

****, nevermind.

Wouldn't it be amazing if the new deal sold the Jazz to Checketts... sigh

I hope they get this thing done TODAY!

I still believe Checketts. Probably covering his ass now by backtracking.

Still seems like a bit of an oddity that he'd come out with such heavy info if he didn't have a firm belief in it. Seems like the media backlash caught him with his pants down...At this point though you really can't believe anything until it's coming from Sterns mouth at the presser.

looks like checketts was wrong. i'm doubtful a deal gets done. player jabber seems to point towards them rejecting the "new" offer. seeyou guys next fall..
