This is a serious accusation being harbored against the franchise and if it is proven that they had illegal contact with him, there will be serious consequences which could included forfeiting draft picks or not being allowed to sign George once he does become a free agent.
This is not the kind of news the organization hoped to be making this off-season, but this investigation will be worth watching extremely closely until everything is solved and a finding is revealed. The Lakers’ free agency plans could be squashed before they ever were able to put anything in motion if there turns out to have been some foul play this summer.
So if guilty lakers could lose draft picks and even be forbidden to sign George

Can Earvin not do a real wink?
Holy ... Magic might actually turn out to be worse than Doc Rivers as a GM when it's all said and done.
I heartily vote for that "punishment."
If this is true it will set a precedent for other teams for sure
As punishment they get Mozgov back.
I'm sure Stern Jr. will run a thorough investigation.
If the NBA finds they were tampering, the Lakers will have to forfeit multiple draft picks..![]()
pacers just butthurt no smoking gun ...
Sure, we might not get George ...
but i agree with Cully not sold on paying him max $ anyways ...
draft picks might be an issue ...but let it play out.
Will be nice if Cuban and the owners do a repeat and force Stern Jr. into a real investigation like their CP0 bull in New Orleans.
Lakers didn't get any penalties for what they did to get a generational star like shaq. They aren't getting anything for tampering with some two bit player like George.
im glad you dont overrate him either ...
Laker fans are delusional.
if we get PG we will still be alsorans without LeBron ..
PG is no franchise saviour ...and until we develop one or buy one signing PG dont mean ...
btw if we lose a pick tampering for a star but not a super one ...
We may deserve it ...
And Fredo too
I have full faith that Silverstein will take care of this.
Leagues always go after current irrelevant teams when they dish out punishments like this.
But the Warriors can talk to a player during a series, tell him to tank the series against them, then sign the player that summer.
