On Wednesday, it was reported by Yahoo Sports that the NBA agreed to a seven-year deal with the players’ union.
The deal prevents a lockout, but it hasn’t been ratified yet.
The NBA and NBPA have reached an agreement in principle on a new 7-year CBA, league sources tell @TheVertical.

Owners and players must still go through process of ratifying agreement, but that’s a mere formality in the process.

Draymond Green went straight to Twitter and voiced his displeasure.

One day we will get it right…. maybe

It’s unclear why Green is upset right now over this new deal, but if you’re an NBA fan, you have to be excited there won’t be a lockout once the new deal is ratified.
