Tampering. We're gonna lose draft picks.
DJ not being shy. Is this tampering? Come on down Zachary.

Tampering. We're gonna lose draft picks.
Are players able to do stuff like this, just not front offices?
Let's make it happen!
Spurs Talk: Our team sucks!
Also Spurs Talk: IDK if I want Lavine, he'd interfere with Joel Wieskamp's development...
Could be wrong, but don’t believe it’s tampering since Chicago’s season is over and Zach is now a UFA.
Can anyone clarify?
This has been my speculation from the start. The Seattle connection and their friendship was what I strongly put forth as the reason that there’s a chance for this. Folks scoffed at the idea. Not saying it’s going to happen, but all the naysayers and negative Nancy’s are always so loud and obnoxious about how other people are wrong for having any hope. Then they retract all their previous statements and claim there was a caveat to what they said.![]()
Isn't it only tampering if the front office does it? Players are allowed to talk to each other.
If anything, this seems akin to the $75k fine Morey was fined for tweeting at Steph "Join 'Em" when he was congratulating his brother.
But, Steph was under contract and Lavine is a UFA to be.
Would love our resident CBA expert takes on this. Either way, I'm happy to see DJM wanting Lavine. If we could get lucky in the lotto and add a 3rd Seattle guy in Banchero, I think we'd see a huge turnaround to immediate playoff contender.
DJs just helping his buddy secure the Max, nothing more.
And does this even count as "talking to each other". DJ just posted a photoshop, he didn't tag Lavine and Lavine isn't part of a convo (on Twitter anyway).
Per NBA.com:
The NBA states that an owner, executive, coach, player or any member of the organization cannot speak to a player signed by another franchise in the hopes of persuading him to sign with their team.
If the Spurs get lucky and draft Banchero, that automatically ups the chances of getting LaVine to sign here. Banchero is the first domino that is unlikely to happen. Not getting lucky in the lottery makes it harder.

Yup, very few things are as exciting giving a long term max contract to a player with a history of knee problems who is about to have exploratory surgery on his knee. Awesome.
No, players can get in trouble for tampering. There's a whole set of arcane "rules" about when the team gets in trouble for it, but DJ needs to shut it down.
Well, that's free speech... he's expressing his wish out loud. I don't think anyone could reasonably argue tampering because of that.
It counts. DON'T try to mess with a player under contract to another team.
DJ tampering is what our Lakers SRP is for. This is how the Heat lost theirs this year.
DJ gets fined, loses an SRP for his team, hits up Zach and says, “Hey Bro, I Lost $$ Because Of You. You Coming To SA Or What?”
I love DJ but for the leader of such a young team, seems like a pretty foolish thing to do, even w/o there likely being any sanctions and such.
Edit: Did he remove it? DJ having Instagram Baller flashbacks![]()
Well, someone talked to DJ, because he's deleted it.
Knowing the league and Adam Silver, they're gonna give the Spurs the death penalty. That's what you get for not trading Kawhi where we wanted you to.
What is this going to do to Primo’s confidence
At least he cares enough to actually recruit somebody...can't fault him for that
the wait has finished, now we know the Spurs will be getting no first round pick this year
We can become the 2022 chicago bulls. Hurray.
50k fine for DJ max likely
