First, Colin Kaepernick has settled his blackball collusion case today with the NFL.
Eric Reid (though he has returned to the league, unlike Kaepernick) did as well.
Word is that Kaepernick will receive somewhere $60-80 million for the settlement, but NDA's will prevent any further comment.
Second, this Anthony Davis saga in New Orleans gets worse by the moment.
New Orleans has fired their GM for mishandling this entire situation. From the self-tampering to asking probably far too much in a deadline trade and then everything which has come afterward, from threatened fines by the NBA, statements against the Pelicans by Davis...
Last night was the final straw for ownership with Dell Demps. Davis left the arena halftime with an apparent shoulder injury, and that was it for Demps come this morning.
The ownership of the Pelicans is going to have to sit down with the NBA. The situation is so out of control that, had the NBA not already threatened the team with $100,000 a game if Davis sat, I'd have suspended Davis as long as the CBA allows me to.
But this, again, is an example of what is becoming far too prevalent -- players wanting out of bad situations and sabotaging the situation either to get it or when they don't get it.
