    Even if Ibaka is a , what Jack did was stupid. The fine is logical and deserved.

    I think this is the end of story for Spurs organization. They knew when they traded for jack that he wasn't a model citizen and a couple of stupid tweets is a small infraction.

    What I'm not so sure is how Jack will react at this whole story. What would be reasonable would be to realize he made a mistake and that he got a small fine given his salary. I do hope he will take it like that.
    I think the best thing for everyone is Jack getting back on the court and throwing down there. He's got too much time on his hands sitting out.

    Good take. I am hoping for this response too. The guy's passion is expected and encouraged, so is the occasional slip of the tongue or tweet.

    No way they cut him. He issued an apology, and he probably genuinely regrets doing it. He's an emotional guy, but he's not an idiot. Non-issue, tbh.

    Where does his right to freedom of speech come into play? I'm quite certain he didn't actually threaten Ibaka, so why isn't he allowed to speak his mind? Not to mention this is all being blown up anyway.

    It doesn't come into play at all in this situation.

    Walk into your job and threaten to go in someone's mouth. Tell them they ain't bout dis life. See how long you're employed. But make sure you use that freedom of speech .

    The fine makes sense, I think it's funny he started posting pictures of his cars and stuff. I would have expected for him to have more cars, tbh.
    Where's the pic?? I missed that.

    Buford was just trying to be PC about the whole thing. No one should be surprised. Give a week like all the other crap that has happened (DB tweet, Pop vs. Stern, TD & TP vs. Crawford) and all will be forgotten.

    And for those of you who think Jax will be traded for this, get real. If he's going to get traded for talking about putting a fake thug in his place, then TP should have been traded last year for saying the Spurs were no longer contenders, which is a lot worse.

    Pop must be loving this. The team may have gotten more negative publicity but the Spurs aren't the soft team they have been for the past few years. When Tim screams after a dunk and Bonner actually throws it down...

    If Ibaka is a faux thug, then hopefully this will get in his head and not the other way around. I don't want Jack to be an easy target for t's in the playoffs. I'm sure he meant every word of it and is just sending a message to Ibaka.

    It's not like he works out of an office, this isn't Workaholics. If I worked in the entertainment business I'd probably talk the same kind of smack.

    Another bad analogy.

    Jackson works under a contract that allows for penalties for bad conduct. If he thought the penalty was too severe, he has a union to represent his interests. Instead, he's apologized and moved on.

    Pop: "You make a mistake and you move on. You miss a shot and you move on. Something off the court happens and you move on."

    Tim: "‘Jack’ understands he made a mistake with that and we move on. It is what is. He’s been disciplined and it’s behind us now."

    He has a 14 year old kid mentality. F*ing brat. "Look at my cars, the fine will not cause a scratch in my wallet."

    Isn't that the same line of thinking that lets the NBA fine the Spurs for Restgate.

    The team has a contract to be in the league and they deemed the Spurs conduct to be detrimental.

    It seems kind of hypocritical for the Spurs to believe that they as a team have the power to fine Jax and then act like the NBA had no right to fine them

    I also am trying to remember RC's public apology. I mostly remember his excuses. I also am pretty sure that the hearing on his DWI case keeps being reset.
