NBA Lockout Close to an End?

There's a sense of optimism between both the players and owners for the first time during this entire painstaking ordeal known as the NBA Lockout. The NBA Player's Association and Owners have been meeting consistently over the past couple of weeks and talks have advanced further than ever in the last few days. Earlier in the week, the players announced they would hold a Harlem Globetrotters-like tour around the world. However, the world tour is on hold as stars like Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, LeBron James, Derrick Rose, and Russell Westbrook have backed out.

I'm reading between the lines here, but I have to believe an agreement is close if the aforementioned stars have removed themselves from this worldwide tour. I sure hope my speculation comes to fruition as I like many basketball fans have been suffering from withdrawal for way too long.
