NBA Players Association director Billy Hunter expects to hear something soon from the NBA regarding a counter proposal submitted by the union last month.

Hunter said there still have "been no comments at all from them about our proposal." It was submitted approximately three weeks ago.

The current collective bargaining agreement expires on June 30, 2011.

"Within the next few days or so, I'll probably be saying something," said Hunter. "I want to hear from (NBA officials before commenting). I suspect that there may be some comments from them forthcoming."

Hunter has said that he wants his players prepared for the possibility of a lockout when the CBA expires next June.
