I've been waiting for this. Thanks

Blake, Aldridge, Martin, Kobe etc. understand math. It’s time for this silent majority, as you term it very well, to start to stand up. I also noticed a comment yesterday by one writer who quoted one of the gang of 7 agents pushing to decertify as saying they might get enough players to call a vote, but he thought it would be very tough to get enough players to then vote to decertify.

Thanks for posting that article

I hope the majority finally speak up. The problem, of course, is that the union does not truly represent the majority. SMH.

I am not giving up on Greg or Brandon.

I'm no union expert

I am pretty amazed at the aparrent lack of engagement of most of the players.
Modern web communication would allow easy ‘polls’ of all players on issues, yet they seem to be using a ‘30s model of the ’executive committee’ deciding when a vote is worth having. I guess that may work if the executive committee is competent, however, in this case, I think the executive committtee is clinging to a failed strategy and more about saving face than making money at this point. At least they have emails, ‘tweets’, etc…, just less complete and clear. Let’s hope they are communicating. Fisher and Hunter can ‘blame’ the players, whatever. Get on with it.

The owners seem to have a clear focus on MAKING some money TOO…. an apparently alarming concept for the executive committee. Jordan is vocal, he is used to INCOME, big time – nothing contradictory there. :-)

If the executive committee refuses to call a vote, I doubt the players can elect a new committee by tomorrow. There should be some fireworks – somewhere. Someday we will probably hear about it.

Wake me when the game is on.
