Hey Bentz,
 
You could be absolutely right. Most of the characters playing the game
and their agents  don't give a crap about the integrity of the league.
They just care for and look out only for themslves. The silence from the
players on the pending Sprewell suit is deafening. I thought I would
never say this but I feel bad for Carlesimo, who should have had that
scumbag arrested and prosecuted and then should have sued Sprewell's
ass. He didn't I believe because he wanted this to be over with quickly
for the best interest of the league and its image. Unfortunately here
come the other scumbags in their suits and they get his suspension
reduced and his contract re-instated. The mistake that was made was the
NBA agreeing to binding arbitration instead of just letting him sue  for
reinstatement.

Hart
