Subject: Sam Smith article
The Sam Smith article was great. It underlines what I have thought.
The egos of the union lawyers and the union's attempt to overreach is
killing the players. But the question I still have is what is Falk's
role. If he claims that he runs the NBA, and he is directing the union
in its negotiations, and he is discussing the formation of a new league,
then is he not interfering with other players contract rights. That is,
is he not keeping them from playing for his personal gain. I wonder why
the rank and file doesn't wake up and demand a vote.

Subject: Miles Simon arrested
Miles Simon of Arizona State, drafted by the Orlando Magic, was arrested
for tresspassing at Albert Belle's house. Apparently, he went to see
his old girlfriend who was at Belle's. I can't think of a much harsher
reality than to be on the wrong end of the stick when dealing with
Albert Belle.

Subject: Maybe there is hope
Maybe there is some hope after all. The article in The State today says
that the meeting between Hunter and Stern was so secret that even the
UNION LAWYERS didn't know about it. From everything I have read about
those guys, they are the pits. From lecturing Stern (on a legal issue
they lost on) to saying that they didn't want the highest average
salary, but they wanted the median salary to be higher than any other
leagues average salary, those guys suck and should be fired. Like
Hunter, they are more interested in their ego than the best interests of
their clients. I wonder if they will have problems if the season is
cancelled without a vote by the Union.
At ESPN, it is reported that Hunter and Stern are to meet this weekend
to try to hammer out a compromise.

Subject: Hunter wants to close
This article at ESPN says that Hunter wants to close a deal. But he is
afraid of getting burned. Of course some of the agents are "counseling"
Hunter to wait until the deadline to make a deal. Nothing like waiting
to the last minute eh. Then the owners will simply cave, right! The
url is:

BTW, my 8 year old daughter got the WNBA Barbie for Christmas. I wish I
had know what Santa was up to. I would have "Huntered" that deal. Next
thing you know, Falk will be at my doorstep to represent Barbie!
