I've really fricking had it with nba players dictating too much where they will and won't play. Bunch of fricking pussies in this league.
Which is why I think Stern would frick Marion in the arse if he tried this.
He leaned VERY hard on Billups after he and his agent were making threats to retire rather than report to whatever team won his rights through the amnesty bidding.
He pretty much told him "You won't see any of your $9m+ contract money that the Knicks are dumping if you keep fricking around."
I figure the same would happen if Marion opted into the final year of his contract, knowing he had been traded, then refused to report.

Different situation with the amnesty. The CBA madness was going on, and Stern was trying to draw a line in the sand on something that was fought hard for, so players couldn't abuse it.
This is a scenario that has happened quite often, unfortunately. Stern can say anything he wants, but the reality would be that Marion will say he's going to refuse to report, and yeah he can get fined, but we are out of 10.7 mill in cap space during the signing period.
That's leverage.

Was this before or after Fisher bullshitted with the Rockets and ended up with OKC?
