Roger Mason emerged from Thursday's meeting of the union executive committee and said leadership is "absolutely" unified.

Mason confirmed that the union will meet with the NBA on Saturday to resume negotiations.

Rumors of a splinter between Derek Fisher and Billy Hunter have dominated much of the news coverage this week.

"I stand behind D-Fish," said Mason. "We're behind him 100 percent."

Mason also said that many of the system issues are still under negotiation and that a deal is not 95% done as reported by the New York Times.

"It's about much more than 50 or 52 or whatever. There's still a system that hasn't been addressed."
