This would of been international news if Adam Silver spoke the wrong words.

Nice. Always good to see labor flex muscles. The rich old fat jerks who are runing the world for everyone else need to be on notice they have some minimum standards of behavior too.

Worried about things that they don't need to be focused on right now, this is a problem we are one game away from the season being over.

Doubt they would've done it for real if they clips didn't.
I'm against it since I don't care about sterling and his private racist remarks, definitely not enough to be at a disadvantage in the playoffs to protest. Though it would've been cool to see both teams walk off. This shouldn't be in their minds honestly.

David Aldridge said at the beggining Clips were in on it.

What a sweet jesture. Glad they were working on a game plan for once.

That would have been a beautiful thing.
This is the kind of thing I was hoping for, if it came to that.

"The idea included plans, if necessary, to reach out to the Clippers and share the plan. The hope would have been that the Clippers would join them, letting the jump ball drop to the hardwood while all the players walked off the court."

Ha ha. Would have been legendary.

I wish this story got more run; this is the first I heard of it.

I hate hearing this... not because it wouldnt have been cool, but because it smacks of PR.

Hearing about some amazing thing that you were gonna do but chose not to kinda takes the shine off it. What was wrong with game 4 if you were really trying to make a statement?
