Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.<\/em><\/p>\n

The gloomy commentary on Tuesday obscured the fact that the parties are inching toward each other on the financial component of a new labor deal. Each side put a new proposal on the board last week, when the top negotiators met in a smaller group, according to a league official. A significant gap remains in dollars, but it is gradually shrinking, the official said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stern referred multiple times Tuesday to the prospect of an agreement on the financial parameters.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a sense that, within a certain tolerances, there\u2019s a potential economic deal that may be within view,\u201d Stern said.<\/span><\/p>\n

NY Times – Pessimism and little progress after day of negotiations ends<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ignore all the doom-and-gloom headlines. The owners and union are headed in the same direction. Chris Sheridan expects the big moves<\/a> to come in a few weeks.<\/p>\n

I will remain a pillar of positivity. <\/p>\n

On Page 2,<\/strong> Jermaine O'Neal says his ball is going flat.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jermaine O'Neal told CSNNE.com that, barring an unexpected change of heart, which he says is unlikely, this will be his last season.<\/span><\/p>\n

"I'm going into my 16th year, so I know my time is near," O'Neal said. "I know someday the ball is going to go flat; you have to plan for life after basketball and that's what I have been doing."<\/span><\/p>\n

But if the NBA owners and players union can't reach an agreement on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement and the 2011-2012 season is lost, O'Neal said playing overseas will not be an option.<\/span><\/p>\n

"I have a 5-year-old son and a 12-year-old girl," he said. "They want to spend a lot of time with Daddy. At this point in my career, it doesn't make sense to go overseas and play for half-a-season. I want to be able to be ready and be fully prepared mentally and physically for what may be my last season."<\/span><\/p>\n

CSNNE – J. O'Neal talks retirement<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

After an injury-plagued 2011 season, there's evidence Jermaine should hang up the sneakers now. But I think he can contribute 15 decent minutes per game. What I don't want is Jermaine being the Celtics top big man going into the season.<\/p>\n
