I'm not a lawyer but by the sound of the article he doesn't mention there is any clause that says failure to disclose an arrest (if you can call it that) is grounds for immediate termination. It was after all in the offseason when players are not reporting to work and while he was detained was he actually arrested with mug shot taken? Was he supposed to call Lombardi and tell him; "Hey Dean just letting you know I almost got arrested lol.". It sounds like the Kings are simply trying to give this the old college try of getting out of a bad contract.
