David Stern denied that there is a rift between owners on how to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement, a meme referenced by Derek Fisher.

"I don't know what the basis of Derek's belief is," Stern said. "But I can tell you, having just come out of the meeting, the vast majority of owners are indeed in favor of a 'hard-cap system,' as Derek refers to it. Having said that, they authorized the committee to be ready to negotiate on all points, and the committee is."
