A group of "top player agents" met on Friday with the executive director of the NBA Players' Association, Billy Hunter, with union decertification at the top of their agenda.
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports notes, "NBA agents want to force the league to negotiate for real, and feel only the threat of the unknown that comes with union decertification can do that." Hunter is reportedly becoming more "open-minded" to the idea, which would thrust many of the lockout's thorniest problems onto the legal and judicial system.
