The players anticipate receiving greater pay under the terms of the new contract. On Monday, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver was asked about his thoughts on the current CBA standoff between the players' association and the league.“Cathy Engelbert has presided over historic growth in the league but there’s no question that there’s issues that we need to address with our players, not just economic,” Silver said. “There’s relationship issues as well. I’m confident we can fix those over time and this league can continue to be on the rocket trajectory that it’s on right now.”Silver stated that he has faith that Cathy Engelbert, the league's commissioner, would reach an agreement with the players."We will get a deal done with the players,” Silver said. “Lots of work left to be done, but we’ll of course get a new collective bargaining agreement.”According to Engelbert's past statement about the CBA deal, an agreement could be finalized after October 31, provided that players agree to the terms proposed by the league.
