Well, they have been informed that if they continue with the boycott, it could lead to the eradication of the current CBA, and that they would have to negotiate a new CBA.

Even though players were supportive on social media, a lot of players felt blindsided by the actions of the Milwaukee Bucks, because they had no choice but to follow suit, considering the climate of everything. And I understand that, but this is an usual situation, and considering that the Jacob Blake shooting happened in Wisconsin, players should be a bit more understanding. However, I do believe the Bucks should have met with all the players in the league first, before abruptly boycotting today’s game. That way everything they wanted to address and request would have been worked out and agreed upon by all the players in the league. The entire move lacked solidarity.

So I think Lebron and the Clippers were just flexing to illustrate that they are the most important teams in the NBA, and without them there is no NBA. The fact that Lebron angrily left the meeting ,and the rest of the lakers and clippers followed, tells you where they stand.

So now all the players are trying to iron out a plan, and figure out what the next steps are. No one knows. Tomorrow’s meeting is going to be intense.
