Miss informed? Thats used a lot when the media,and mainstream writers point out the flaws of the player's union. Paul Pierce was interviewd by Spears from Yahoo sports,and he had this to say.
Q: [Celtics free-agent forward] Glen Davis(notes) has also voiced his displeasure with the union’s stance. He’s tweeted, “Take the 51% man and let’s play.” What do you think about what he has said?
“You got a lot of players that say, ‘Let’s take the deal.’ ‘Let’s take 51.’ ‘Let’s go 50-50.’ A lot of them don’t understand the issues. A lot of them are on the outside looking in. They kind of followed the negotiations on [television]. A lot of players didn’t understand the 50-50. Then you have a lot of players who weren’t in a lot of the meetings. They all flew out to New York, actually saw the deal [last Monday] and couldn’t believe it.
“I had guys going to the gym, saying, ‘I can’t believe how bad the deal was.’ Once guys went to the meeting and saw what it really was, they kind of backed off of it.”
I think at least 50% of the players should-be informed,and then they should have smaller meetings explaining the deal. Something is off with some of the player's not knowing the details. I assume some trust the player's in charge of the process,and some of the young player's like Davis don't ask questions,and they assume 50/50 is justified. Which it's not,and the system issues are not okay. Will see what other player's come out,and say take a deal,or we might not,

If you don't know the info don't say anything. A lot of us go by the media,but sometimes all the information is off,and some of the player's bought in.

The players are influenced by the media just like we are. Why don't folks, including players, get it that the media constantly lie?

The media is amazing on how they can dictate what we think is right. Sometimes you need to get the whole truth.
