Maybe, but like I said, it's a real stretch. They would have to prove that the Hawks intentionally misled their season ticket holders into re-upping, for example, by withholding information that might have caused some not to make the purchase. If they had already made the trade and kept it a secret until after season ticket holders had committed while implying that Russell was still going to be on the team, then I could see where they might have a legitimate grievance.
I'm going with the A-hole, don't get mad, get even theory. This was an intentional slap in the face to Wilson and his camp. You want to tease everyone by dangling possible trade destinations, fine. We'll return the tease by writing you out of the script.
