Yeah, that GB thing was a total joke.
I obviously don't know what's going on behind closed doors, but I've gotten the impression that Lamar doesn't want to bargain. He wants a certain amount in a certain way and there is no room for compromise. Of course the players association and his peers want him to win, in the long run it benefits all the players if guaranteed contracts become the norm. I hope he realizes that he's the only one putting his immediate future/career on the line. If he wins, all the players win. If he loses, he's the only one truly affected.
