I totally meant to mention this yesterday, but it slipped as the anger over the subject grew: where's the NBA union in this whole fiasco? I've read nothing about a union response, and if this isn't a place where the representatives (both players and non-players) should be stepping in and saying something, I don't know what is.

Thanks to Michael McCann at Sports Law Blog (one of my favorites on the blogosphere in general, particularly now that I'm actually in law school) for pointing this out.
