No Spiro spiral, his lawyer says

An driving-while-intoxicated arrest of former Lakers radio play-by-play man Spero Dedes over the Fourth of July weekend will likely not hold up, his lawyer has told the New York Post (linked here).

Dedes, who two weeks ago decided not to take the Lakers' open TV job and instead become the radio voice of his home-town New York Knicks, was pulled over for speeding at 4:12 on Sunday morning, according to authorites. He posted $500 bail.

Dedes' lawyer, Colin Astarita, told The Post he believes a "complete dismissal" will take place, saying, "The early stages from the police paperwork show inconsistencies with the police allegations and what actually transpired that night."

Since Dedes has not officially been announced as the new Knicks' radio man, the Post says it is unclear if this will affect his status.
