    Baker can't be sign; Union upset

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The NBA sent a memo to all 29 teams telling them they cannot sign Vin Baker until his arbitration case is decided, prompting an angry response Tuesday from the players' union.

    "It is outrageous for the NBA to prevent Vin Baker from signing with any NBA club," union director Billy Hunter said. "The league's action is a clear admission that Vin is not only fit to play professional basketball, but there are numerous teams willing to sign him today."</div>

    The Union are mad that Baker cannot sign with any team right now.

    Does anybody know how long the arbitration case will take to be decided? Also, how would Bakers contract with the Celtics be affected if it is decided that they owe him the money, then he in turn signs with another club??

    I'm proud that vin is back in shape. I hope he is letting go and letting god help him with his struggles. He'll be in my prayers.
