It is an exception but doesn’t include after the fact documents. It’s stuff like drafting notes and previous drafts.
All I can tell you about the league is what they said - waivers would have been required. As for what Feaster would have done, IIRC ROR had already terminated his contract in Europe.
I really dont think Feaster even knew about this issue until it was pointed out.
ETA: the non use of the change in the later CBA actually helps Feaster’s case because the change would arguably indicate they discovered the problem because of that case and had to close it.
