Are Players Upset with Billy Hunter?
An important sidebar to the reauthorization of the union as the players’ bargaining representative is a push from about a dozen agents to have executive director Billy Hunter re-installed only on an interim basis. The agents, essentially the group that was behind the push for decertification during the bargaining talks, are dissatisfied with Hunter’s leadership and want the players to have a say in who will lead the union going forward rather than have Hunter return to power with a new contract. “Players aren’t saying it, but they’re [angry],” one of the agents said Wednesday “And on top of that, they lost 20 percent of their money for a deal that could’ve been done two months ago.”
