it's not like it was dropped in her lap this morning.

It's also not like it's a simple case.

We all have an outcome we want to see - and to us that makes it cut and dried - but it's not so simple for the person who actually has to render the decision.

No judge wants to be overturned on appeal and injunctions are rarely granted. Granting this injunction assuming she does so will be HIGHLY scrutinized on all levels. Granting this injunction also establishes case precedent in this district. Net net is there is a lot more going on than the average Joe understands. Trust me on this one, this will not be decided anytime soon. Only scenario we can hope for is a short window to open for free agent acquisitions before this goes to a full trial on the merits. You don't tell a $9 billion business to stop doing something this quickly through the court system. Just doesn't happen that way because both sides are so lawyered up.

Ok we need to stop all the free agent talk, there isn't going to be Free agency this year.

Look you can't undo what would be done. If she rules for the injunction and everyone starts switching teams, then the appellate court over rules her, you can't just put them back. Nor can you delete the legal binding contracts etc. There will not be any free agent movement till this thing is settled 100%.

And honestly I HATE free agency. It has ruined the game imho. We were better off when teams had to draft and develop a team. Who cares if there were dynasty's, learn to draft better. As for as the fans, you could buy a jersey of a player and know his ass was staying there for his career unless a trade happened. That aside, there is no way in hell she can grant any form of free agency, too many issues down the road if she is overturned.

I don't see this thing getting settled till end of July if it goes to the appellate courts, they will definitely take their sweet time for the reasons you mentioned. By then its way too late for any free agency at all due to teams rushing to camp to get a season underway.

The only way you see any free agent movement is to have both parties grow the fug up and get this resolved at the negotiating table soon.
