Golden State's Stephen Jackson was fined $25,000 by the NBA for saying he wanted to be traded. Jackson, who averaged a team-best 20.7 points per game last season, told Dime Magazine last month that he wanted out and had told the front office as much. Players are not permitted to make trade requests publicly.

Did Kobe get fined with his whirlwind tour?
Looks like NBA is picking on a guy. 90% of guys who get traded say something publicly.
Malik Rose was pretty quiet...Pop's foot buried in his ass notwithstanding.
tee, hee.
You are an idiot if you think Malik Rose wanted to be traded. He played a big role for the Spurs all the way up until the deadline and was then exiled to the bench forever in New York. He was a fan favorite here in San Antonio.
...Pop's foot in his ass notwithstanding.
tee, hee.
Pop's foot has been in nearly every Spurs ass at one time or another (see Bruce Bowen last season). Pop runs this team, unlike PJax with the Lakers, who hugs Kobe's nuts.
Now hold on there a second, hoss. Now you tell me Phil hugs Kobe's bean bag. A few days ago you told me Phil called him everything but a black man when he busted that chick's starfish there in CO..
Were you lying then, or, are you lying now?
You can get fined for asking to be traded?
Only if yer not a Laker.
tee, hee.
Me thinks you are getting senile in your old age. We had no such conversation.... try again... a mind is a terrible thing to waste
Perhaps, but, I better not catch you doublin' back ever again. I'll come down on you like billy-be-jiggered!
Now, don't w*rk too hard on your j*b tomorrow.
tee, hee.
Ooh, I'm scared...
The trolling unemployed head cleaner is gonna billy be-jigger me on a message board...
how will I ever sleep tonight
You have no other choice. You have to go to wo*k tomorrow.
tee, hee.
harsh imo ....
Quoting Tim Duncan this is "re ed"
I like how you put an asterisk on Wo*k like how spurs put an asterisk on that derek fisher .4 shot or the spurs * on the lockout season...
after some deduction I believe you implied one of two things, either:
A) You were trying to be cute, which I think you succeded
or
B) You are implying dunc n dave doesn't have a real or deserved job as to merit an asterisk.
which one is it culby?
This is outrageous. Kobe goes on a tour asking to be traded, nothing happened. Artest said he wanted out, nothing happened. Jason Kidd wanted out when he was in New Jersey, publicly showing frustration, not fined. Finally, you have Vince Carter who basically threw his tantrum around when he was with the Raptors and wanted out. I doubt he was fined. This is re ed.
So I'm guessing Stern is trying to make an example out of Jackson. He tends to do that a lot with NBA players. The NBA will be better once he's done being the boss.
I was striving to be "cute", 83. I only used the asterisk as if I'm appalled at even mentioning the words [work] or [job].
& then you had Rodman with you guys who took a fit wanting to be: A. traded &&& B. get David Robinson off his front porch stoop with the "Watchtower".
Yeah, because David Robinson is a Jehovah's Witness... Your comments used to be insightful..now you've just become like a creepy old man...do you have a life?
& so, Robinson can't take some red assin' over his religion?
& you didn't like me from the moment Lee missed that layup and I hadn't even shown my face at that point.
tee, hee.
