I have said it before and i will say it again:
Going by Feasters statement he knew about the rule and was ready to challenge if it came down to it. That challenge would have taken weeks for a decision. Even if Feaster had won, this team would more than likely have been out of it and handing the Av's a top 5 pick.
Sorry but that is not a good back up plan.

Would it have taken weeks? Judging how it's a mere clarification on a single article, I can't imagine how it wouldn't take more than a week with a arbitrator. Two at most.
And there were a number of lawyers on both sides helping write the CBA.
Again the top 5 pick is not guaranteed.
