I cant see this being a 'Hail Mary' by the Kings. Theres just no way that makes sense.

Lawyers dont tend to throw 'Hail Mary' passes because everything Lawyers do has consequences.

"Hey lets just try throwing this crap at the wall and hopefully the lawyers representing him are so stupid they'll just take our word for it and we'll win!!"

It doesnt typically work like that. They must think they've got a serious case because they know what the alternative is. It isnt just; 'well that didnt work, I guess we buy him out' and then everything else is forgotten.

Theres a lot of time, money and consequences, both personal and professional, on the line here. For everyone.
