    Fine 10% of a year's salary for a player or take away a teams first round draft pick and give it to the team who the free agent belonged to before he became a free agent.

    What happened with George requesting a trade after Leonard singled him out is as bad as it gets. League should have made Leonard's FA signing null like they did Paul in the past.

    The NBA should treat tampering like the NFL treats domestic violence...

    If there’s any evidence or a hint of wrong doing you best believe you’ll get some type of punishment...

    The difference is we don’t need the proof or Videos that it happen...gossip and leaks will do the work

    League doesn't care. Its good for "business" for LA to be a strong media market again. ESPN is happy about it and they paid billions for the rights....

    Silver is weak and bends over to the players. I'd be surprised if anything happens of this investigation. Its just to placate small teams like us. It will mean nothing in the end.

    Don't worry Kerr us going after the AD situation publicly but we all now he doing pop's dirty work and really speaking about Kawhi...
    But tbh I agree unless in the last year of a contract and you don't plan to sign an extension... Because at least the team can recoup some assets in return...
    I'm sure Uncle Dennis and Magic Johnson had discussions while Kawhi was still a member of the Spurs. I've read credible reports that indicate that the two were colluding and forming a plan that would move Kawhi to the Lakers before Bron joined them last season.

    Do you think RC and/or Pop haven't had "friendly talks" with Gay telling him: "you are going to stay with us next year, right?". People talk, it's just part of human nature.
    Tampering is making any kind of move (even comment) toward a player under contract with another team. You can't tamper with your own player.

    He was desperate for an example that proves "everybody does it". Just got a little ahead of himself.

    He's right about the moratorium rules. They're broken. And the league has gotten incredibly lax with the tampering in recent years. They didn't even give wrist slaps for a lot of incidents. If they were really concerned they would change the rules around verbal agreements, and make tampering hurt. They haven't done that, so it's fair to say they really don't want it to change.

    Absolutely. However both overplayed their cards. Essentially once LeBron chose Lakers, the Lakers reduced the offer. Dennis leaked that Leonard now prefers Clippers. Lakers didn't bite. I have no doubt Dennis wanted Leonard in Lakers uniform without LeBron.

    Didn't really know what the word meant. Multi-linguals' problems, tbh. I just assumed that, in the NBA context, it meant not making under the table arrangements before legally being allowed to.

    He was desperate for an example that proves "everybody does it". Just got a little ahead of himself.

    Why would I be desperate for examples of tampering? There are plenty out there.

    I don't know if it cons utes tampering but back in 2008 when the Spurs traded Barry for Kurt Thomas and then signed Brent right back, I'm sure there was a pre-arrangement that must have broken some kind of rule, tbh.

    Because you said everybody does it, you ignorant . Then you used Gay as an example of how (you think) the Spurs have tampered. You don't know the rules, and you make up. Other than that, you're a great resource.

    Also, every team and player have done it. I would bet my house on it.

    Damn, that excalated quickly

    Do you have some sort anger management issue, son? Not the first time I see you flip like that for what, honestly, on this forum is quite a tame exchange, tbh.
