Summary

In early January 1955, Cousy presented a comprehensive demands list to NBA President Podoloff concerning the Baltimore Bullets and the league's financial future. These specific requirements included paying back member salaries for the defunct club, abolishing the secretive fine for whispering fouls that allowed referees to quietly punish players during matches, establishing a two-game limit on exhibition games allowing shared profits afterward, creating an impartial arbitration board for resolving disputes between owners and players, securing 25 thousand dollars for public appearances excluding radio and television, moving expenses, and removing the soft cap along with guaranteed contracts. Another major lockout and preservation of the soft cap were also part of the final agreement reached in that winter. By mid-summer 2009, Stern and the owners formally notified the NBPA that they would withdraw from negotiating an extension for the second season of the 2005 contract and intended to terminate it immediately. Although discussions had started previously in the summer of 2009, the negotiations deepened significantly during the upcoming 2010-11 season, ultimately leading to a formal expiration on June 30, 2011 for this agreement.
