"No chance" is not something a lawyer recommends. "Remote chance" or "probably unsuccessful" might be taken depending on the cost-benefit analysis.
And clients who think they are in the right often instruct a lawsuit to be taken even where the advice is "probably not successful". After that, we lawyers just do the best we can to win. After making sure the original advice is documented
Of course, we are all operating on limited facts - we don't even know for sure what the termination letter says, what the grievance says, or what options the Kings had for trades, etc.
