NEW YORK (AP) -- None of the NBA's 30 owners expressed any objections Friday to holding the 2007 All-Star Game in Las Vegas.
``It was not a contentious issue at all,'' said commissioner David Stern, who estimated the owners spent less than 10 minutes discussing the subject during the two days of meetings at a Manhattan hotel.
Much more time was spent discussing the status of negotiations with the players' union on a new collective bargaining agreement to replace the one that expires June 30. The sides are expected to convene again next week after union director Billy Hunter meets with a large group of players to update them on the status of talks.
``I'd say we're closer to 50 percent (finished) than 80 percent,'' Stern said. ``We've done a good job of defining a broad array of issues that need to be addressed, but we have not determined whether the final trades can be made.
