Billy Hunter has no plans to step down from his role as executive director of the NBA players? union before his contract expires in five years.
Hunter was widely panned during the NBA?s labor negotiations this year, and many league observers speculated during that process that he?d resign or be forced out of his position.
But, Hunter told the Boston Globe, ?I?ve got like five years remaining on my contract, and that probably will be enough.?
?I think (criticism is) just part of the process and it can?t be avoided,? Hunter added, per The Globe. ?We had the same issue in '98 and that a lot of our guys didn?t follow it and a lot of times they react because someone else is giving them misinformation and they really don?t understand the deal. And time will tell. As contracts become publicly known, then attitudes are then formed as a consequence of that.?
Hunter also said he always believed the lockout would not result in the cancellation of the entire season.
?If it got past Feb. 7 we wouldn?t have had a season, but I never saw that happening. Just having been there before and the losses would be so extreme,? he said.
