Atty David Boies: players claim league "boycott" once collective bargaining ended. "Based on boycott, that's a violation of an rust law."

Union/TA will file an rust complaint tonight against NBA in Northern Dist of California. Plaintiffs: Melo, Billups, Durant, Powe, Leonard
Wow, so they are going to do it in California after all..
Too early to know yet... League tried to do venue shopping by filing in NY early. Lawsuits could be merged or not, and venues changed.
I'm almost positive the venue will not be in California.

My goodness, Simmons is dumb.
I don't feel like actually listening, so if you would, can you tell some of the idiotic things he has been saying?
Seconded.
It's hard to put it into words, but basically he makes wild arguments for the owners and shows a real lack of understanding of the situation and what was offered. He basically argues that the players should be held to a higher moral standard and scoff players who get overpaid since it hurts the league in the long run and that the owners are forced to give out the terrible contracts they do. He argues that the Travis Outlaws of the world hurt teams more than the Rashard Lewis's as well.
I read somewhere today that the average salary of NBA players is $5 million plus. which is more than the average salaraies of NFL and MLB players combined.
So a professional athlete in the NBA would be foolish to kill that golden goose, even for one year.
Oh, look, you solved the lockout

Plaintiffs named on players' lawsuit filed against NBA: Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Kevin Durant, Leon Powe & Kawhi Leonard
Kawhi Leonard? Must be representing the rookies then. That's pretty good I suppose..
Really Kawhi? You never even played.
Not the best of starts as a Spur. I wonder if he will get booed the first time he hits the floor.
The owners won't let him. . .
Kawhi left college early to play professional ball. He could be playing right now, but instead he is sitting at home and hasn't seen a single dime from the NBA. IMO, he (and rookies like him) have just as much beef with this situation as the high-paid vets, and they deserve to be represented.
Not if he's replacing Rj.
Good read about the legal skirmish from an actual lawyer:
Untangling Monday's NBA lockout web
Does anyone here really think the Owners will fold before it really gets ugly?
Nope. I think they have been ready for this. There goal is to punish the players, not to have a season. I think they drag it out as long as they can. They know fans will come back eventually. The philosophy still stands: Owners can financially withstand this longer than players. They will bankrupt these guys to get what they want.
Imo.
I think you're spot on.
& if the players know this, why even go through with this whole fiasco?
Well, this is the city that booed a guy for being Chinese.
