CBA, PART II: AFTER BRIEF MEETING, SIDES BRACE FOR LOCKOUT

          The NBA "steamrolled toward a July 1 lockout after
     talks between the league and the players association broke
     off Monday," according to USA TODAY's Greg Boeck.  NBA
     Deputy Commissioner Russ Granik called the meeting in New
     York "nonproductive," and said that no new talks were
     scheduled before the CBA agreement expires at midnight next
     Tuesday.  Granik also said the union's proposed no-lockout,
     no-strike moratorium that would reinstate NBA players for
     the World Championships was a "dead issue" (USA TODAY,
     6/23).  The AP reports that talks yesterday broke off "after
     just" 30 minutes.  NBA Commissioner David Stern and NBPA
     President Patrick Ewing attended the meeting (Mult., 6/23). 
          SUNNY AND SHARE? Blazers G Damon Stoudamire, responding
     to the claim that NBA players are getting too big a share of
     basketball-related revenues: "What about the part they're
     getting?  David Stern makes $8 million to $9 million, and he
     doesn't even pick up a basketball.  All he's doing is
     running the NBA" (Portland OREGONIAN, 6/21).
