I don't think so. The Arbitrator is only looking to see if someone broke the CBA rules and if the punishement should be emplimented and if it's fair or not.
The legal side of things would be to decide if the other teams actually were engaged in collusion and the two teams chose not to engage in it. An actual judge would have to hear that and might punish the rest of the owners for doing so. I don't think the league will want it to go that far and will come to some agreement. Will DS and JJ take it that far? I think they will file if need be and hope some of their CAP space get returned so they can drop the law suit.
