You don't think they can make a basketball reasons argument centered around how much passion and effort their guys played with when he was down? Then, show the Memphis game or the game he scored 3 points and point to that as a basketball argument for why they legitimately think they are a better team without him?
I think that case could at least be made with legit proof and to me the burden of proof shouldnt be on the team to give 100% validative reasons for why they are choosing to do what they are doing.

No, because they aren't bringing the grievance, AD would be. AD will say he is being sat as unfair punishment for the trade demand. His evidence will be his long history of being a starter and All Star for the team. An arbitrator would look at this and ask the Pels why they think he shouldn't play and there answer will be be pretty lacking in terms of #basketballreasons.
Remember that what people want isn't AD being demoted and benched but being sat and not playing at all. You can probably make the case that wrecking chemistry is demotion worthy, but he's still a top 5 player so not playing him any minutes is hard to justify.
