    Who is "us"? Isn't Boies representing a small group of players instead of a union? The NBA owners should invite those players and Boies to NBA offices for some talks.

    Fans buying shares in a team means nothing when discussing the lockout. I think we may agree on at least one thing.

    Didn't know that about the injuries there, thanks.

    And, obviously, that's where my confusion arose, as you mentioned voiding his contract, and I just assumed a contract here, in violation of his contract, and not there. Thaks.

    Where did this hick come from? You're new to America, aren't you?

    It's best not to try to teach law to the lawyers, Sonny.

    David Boies and Billy Hunter are giving a "litigation update" at 6 p.m. EST. So there will be some NBA lockout news tonight.

    Boies sounds so ... lawyerly. NBPA continues to appear desperate and misguided.

    Folks, Boies sounds like he's decided to strap in. Until #NBA owners relent and ask to negotiate, this thing isn't ending any time soon.

    Carmelo Anthony still listed as main plaintiff. K.Durant, S.Nash. R.Rondo added as named plaintiffs. Will still be called Anthony v. NBA.

    No problem! After re-reading my post, I can see how it was a bit vague as to which contract I was referencing. I do agree that a player can be injured at any point, and I'm sure JR got at least a few paychecks out of it.

    It's standard practice in law and politics to collect as many members of the opposition as you can to join your side, Rook. You should learn American law and politics. I thought you had to take a hour in it before they'll let you become a citizen. Or did you just sneak in?

    Union/TA atty says this is "simple" antitrust suit. "It's not going to take years. It's going to take months, if not weeks."

    Boises says players chose Minnesota over Northern District of Calif. because of less crowded docket in Minny.

    I still can't get over Boies being paid handsomely by NFL owners to try and overturn the same basic Sherman case he won last summer.

    Boies: "If the league's approach is to ignore this litigation and go into a state of denial, that will not be in anybody's interest."
