SALT LAKE CITY -- Decision day for NBA players may have arrived.

The players' association will meet in New York on Monday morning, a session that could lead to the end of the lockout or send it into a bigger tailspin. Representatives from all 30 teams are expected, as are other players, to examine and discuss a seven-page summary of the NBA's latest collective bargaining proposal to the union.

The latest offer from the owners is a 50-50 split of basketball-related income. That's the money generated from ticket sales, TV contracts, concessions, parking and temporary stadium advertising.

Owners would keep half. Players, in total, would get half. Plus the current deal offers a soft salary cap. Owners say it moves them closer to competitive balance.

Union to meet Monday to discuss NBA's offer

On the eve of perhaps the biggest meeting of the NBA lockout, the league took its talking points to the players and public.

If this deal is rejected, NBA Commissioner David Stern says the offer will revert back to a 53-47 split in favor of the owners. There would also be a hard cap on salaries with no exceptions, plus a roll-back of players' salaries.

On KSL's "SportsBeat Sunday," former Jazz Coach Jerry Sloan and long-time assistant Phil Johnson briefly weighed in on the situation. Sloan said he worries about the impact of the lockout on the players, and the physical consequences.

"You've got to work and stay in shape and try to work at half speed and be ready. I'd be very concerned about getting a serious injury," Sloan said.

Johnson quickly followed that up with concern for Jazz fans, who have been growing more frustrated and jaded as the lockout continues.

"I just hope they get it worked out, mainly for the fans and for - like you said - the business people in this area. That's a big item here in this city," Johnson said.

Executive Director Billy Hunter doesn't like the current deal but wants feedback from the players before the union brings it to a vote.
