The NBPA met with its player representatives and other players on Tuesday and spoke to the media afterward.  

To reach a new collective bargaining agreement, Derek Fisher indicated that the union is willing to come down from its 51 percent offer in exchange for changes to key system issues.

Billy Hunter said he expects to meet with David Stern before 5 p.m. EST on Wednesday.  He believes that there is more than mere tweaking of the system components of the NBA's last offer that is required before a deal can be done.

Hunter does not, in practical effect, believe that the NBA will pull its 50-50 offer off the table after Wednesday.  

"I'm convinced that they would come back and do a 50-50 deal," Hunter said.
