Did not matter what team got Melo, that team would of done the same thing. Not the Knicks fault. (And that is coming from a Nets fan). Is what it is. That rule was in place already from the owners. They want it changed so that the drama does not occur.

@WojYahooNBA Prominent player agent to Y!: "We're not just walking off the cliff with (Billy Hunter). We're ready to take the next step and decertify."

@WojYahooNBA Agent to Y! Sports (continued): "We're not going to let the league set up tomorrow's meeting as a way to trap us into a bad deal."

@WojYahooNBA If nothing else, the agents seem determined to create some leverage headed into Tuesday's meeting, because the players have so little.

@WojYahooNBA Agent on decert: “Maybe if Stern's faced w/ revealing their real financial records, legal costs and paying possibly billions in damages....

Agents are just looking out for themselves. Can't wait for the players to reject the next proposal, start missing game checks, and then settle for a much worse deal down the road. The owners can sit out a hell of a lot longer than the overwhelming majority of players.

I hope the agents/NBAPA/Owners/Stern just get into a full blown brawl. This lock out is a joke

Exactly. The agents are just as greedy as the owners. I hope that the players don't budge off that BRI, though.
