According to sources, Leon Rose has privately made it known that he is in favor of the decertification strategy that union officials have consistently resisted and deemed a "nuclear option."

Rose represents LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul, amongst others.

Arn Tellem (Wasserman Media Group), Dan Fegan (Lagardere Unlimited), Bill Duffy (BDA Sports), Mark Bartelstein (Priority Sports), and Jeff Schwartz (Excel Sports Management) are already believed to be in support of that policy.
