Not just fans, but their own team and perspective players in the future.

You really don't think far-fetched positions are taken with millions of dollars at stake? I'm working on one right now as soon as I finish typing this. The higher the sophistication, the more decision-making is done on the basis of a risk analysis. In this circumstance, it seems to me that the risk to the Kings is low - any order that would result from a dispute resolution process would likely put them right back where they were before, with Richards on the Monarchs. Maybe they have to pay a fine. The upside if they're successful is obviously huge. The chances of success may be low, but someone may have just decided that it's worth a roll of the dice given the lack of downside.
So in this one that you are working on right now, did one side "threw crap at the wall and see what sticks" ?
