10:12 AM ET?09.23 | A well-placed source reports Gary Bettman has told people he believes the NBA and David Stern caved in to save the 2011-12 season by giving the players between 49 and 51 percent of basketball revenue as part of the agreement that ended the lockout last December, and Bettman is resolute in his stance against giving more than 48 percent to the union over the life of the next NHL agreement. Even in retrospect, Bettman apparently is unable to recognize the value of LeBron James' championship season if it came at the cost of a single decimal point. It is this extreme stance that has created a sense of fear throughout the industry that 2012-13 might go the way of 2004-05, even without the cultural and philosophical divide that existed the last time. "There is no logical reason this shouldn't be resolved within a matter of weeks," one moderate on the players' side in favor of an ultimate 50-50 split told me Friday. "But there is no such thing as logic where Gary is concerned."
