per Woj - NBPA Executive Committee has called for Derek Fisher's resignation

[Mark in Austin]

This goes deeper than it is. But clearly, Fisher was on to something here, Billy sensed danger and that's why he called for Fisher's resignation.

Now that this has come to light, if the players don't get rid of him they deserve to lose all their money.

Dude- You article is soo last week…Here is something current…Hunter is a fraud…Fisher is the ONLY player to call Hunter out on his unethical behavior…

Hunter's family has several connections to the union. Billy has a daughter and a daughter-in-law working directly for the NBPA. A son, two daughters and a daughter-in-law have worked for the NBPA or companies that did business with the NBPA. Hunter also sought a $7 million investment from the union into a failing New Jersey bank, which had ties to Billy's son, Todd.

The one player speaking out loudest about the need for audits and cries about nepotism is NBPA president and Oklahoma City Thunder guard Derek Fisher. He's been at odds with Hunter since the lockout began, embroiled in a bitter battle that's gone public complete with spin and accusations.

It was a circus. It remains a circus.
Fisher's basic point calling for an independent investigation seems rather reasonable at this juncture. Except the NBPA executive committee, made up of players, just voted 8-0 for him to resign.

"I have tried to convey the legal and moral obligations we have as union officers," Fisher said recently in a statement. "Sadly, the executive committee has now waged a personal character attack on me to divert attention from the real issue."

And here are the jackasses who have Hunter's back (Fisher excluded obviously) in that 8-0 vote.



smh

And how many ing VPs does the NBAPA need? The real life Pierce & Pierce?

As posted...I am happy to learn that Derek Fisher has been at odds with Billy Hunter…For over ten years I have heard nothing but good things about Fish…The negotiating tactics of Billy Hunter really ticked me off…Pulling the race card, threatening to disband the union, all the rhetoric, all the B.S, the nepotism…The rest of the players committee are a bunch of cement heads...

But he didn't disband the union in time, which is why the players got cornholed in negotiations. They should have decertified in the summer.

I just read about that angle this morning…Something about following the NFL player committees lead to get the owners back to the negotiating table…
