The league's plans include scheduling two exhibitions games per team in which admission would be free and offering at least 500 tickets at $10 each for every regular-season game. "We have some winning back of fans to do, and we're going to do it," Commissioner David Stern said in a news conference with union director Billy Hunter and NBA deputy commissioner Russ Granik. "Most important to us is that basketball games will be upon us again, and as a fan I am elated." The 29-0 vote by the owners was done by a show of hands, rather than a secret ballot. It came one day after negotiators agreed on a new seven-year collective bargaining agreement to end the 6-month-old lockout. The Associated Press and ESPN.com contributed to this report.
