Billy Hunter vs Derek Fisher

[mellow]

After an amazing summer of disfunctional union antics, the NBAPU just can't stop. In a recent power play Derek Fisher tried to run the NBAPU executive director, Billy Hunter, by ordering an audit and suggesting Billy hasn't been using all the union money the right way.

Billy responded by pulling his own power play by organizing enough support to call for a vote from all 30 teams to dethrone Fisher as the NBAPU President.

NBA knows Drama.

Adrian Wojnarowski broke the story on Yahoo Sports, or you can read ESPNs rehash of the Yahoo story.

I don't like either of these guys but I can guess who is going to win.

Misfortune for Derick Fisher is just something that happens before he gets exactly what he wants. How many times can he make a deal with the devil and come out on top?

They're both clueless jackasses. I expect nothing less from them.

If I was a player I would just tweet "Yr old as hell, you should retire, LA didn't want you," #Fisherlied

I pop up every now and again. I'm still depressed from my breakup with Notty though...

As much as I detest Fisher, good for him for exposing the nepotism of Hunter. Sounds like he had every family member on the payroll either directly or by funneling NBA business their way. This is going to be a great story to watch as it unfolds.

Who is waiting on Hunter to break out the "Fisher Lied" shirts? He needs to get those SLC girls on the phone ASAP.

i would say the players should fire all their laywers including billy hunter and need to hire certain laywers but then i will get in trouble with the mods

Woj and Getlin just blew this thing wide open: https://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--...to-son.html;_ylt=Am0RYBg7lKu8pR88tj.MHMu8vLYF

Weird to support Fisher in...well...anything.

It appears that Fisher may be onto something.

....looks like Hunter was stealing from the Union and padding his families bank account! I knew the owners should have held out longer....all year would have suit me just fine!
