Except that still has nothing to do with "the end of guaranteed contracts".
Also, and given it seems that "material breach" is well defined in contract law, I don't think there are many surprises waiting here in that regard. The union will almost certainly fight, naturally. But even if the Kings prevailed, it would probably only open the door to define specific actions related to drugs and/or arrests as valid for terminating a contract in this way.
