On the other hand, the Bucks obviously didn't say anything to the Magic players ahead of time, or they wouldn't have been on the floor warming up for the game. I can't criticize the decision to not accept the forfeit; but I do think it was a little disrespectful of the Bucks not to let the Magic know ahead of time.

I'm sure we won't get a W for the game (probably asking for one would be in poor taste), but not letting the Magic know about the boycott was in poor taste as well.

How that impacts whether they get paid or not, and what happens with the CBA, the salary cap, and how the owners react going forward is going to be very interesting.
