What happens if he tells the NBA to fuck off? They do not control his salary, the team owner does no?

Personally, I'd put my foot down, call these clowns out for the next 100 days and see them in court over the accumulating fines. All while only talking to the press about the NBA, the shitty refs, the court case and the fines to keep people silent.

I bet you they'd rescind those fines and stop playing this stupid game.
