Players are technically included under tampering rules, but the NBA rarely goes after players for tampering. Partially because it's pretty hard to enforce and partially because it would be unseemly to levy fines or other punishments for friends chatting with each other about wanting to play together (as James, Wade, Bosh and others have done for years).
Wasn't it the Joe Smith thing? Think they paid him under the table or something? They took away five draft picks. Crazy. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/01/nba-joe-smith-illegal-contract-timberwolves
YOU mean the one above that he posted AFTER your post? If not, I have no clue what you are talking about. Even still did his post or any of his posts force you to type those words? I doubt it Come on now. Own what you said and don't deflect to someone else as if you are their puppet.
Okay. You obviously cant have a rational up and up discussion about anything. You are always right. You are never wrong. sigh.... So little respect for those who cant own up to what they say and do....
Something like Durant and his "I'll take less this year, so I can sign for more next year wink wink" is basically the exact same thing as the joe smith tampering, no?
Dude, you've just taken this so nuch further than necessary. My post said people don't like Draymond Green because he gets under peoples skin. That is a factual statement. Nothing else was implied. Not kicking or hitting ir anything. His antics, other than that shit bother people. Nurk also has a game that irritates people. It's fucking awesome. Which was my point. We all love the tough guy get under your skin player on our team, but not Green It's not a right or wrong thing.
No. Just trying to get you to be straight forward, of which you refuse to do. I highlighted a PORTION of what you said, but isnt ALL you said. Words are everything online. I love how you say something and then go back and twist it to fit your scenario, when the FACT is that ISN'T exactly what you said. I don't care really, just know not to take you seriously because you don't own up to anything....
The main issue for the Timberwolves is that they signed a (secret) contract to do that. Guaranteeing it makes it a cap circumvention. A player signing for less with a non-guaranteed expectation of a larger deal the next year is a different matter. If Durant suffered a career-ending injury, he wouldn't get the big multi-year contract. Joe Smith essentially got a multi-year guarantee, even though not signing a multi-year deal was what Minnesota needed for cap purposes.
I re read it. I said.....people dont like draymond green because he gets under peoples skin. What am i missing that seems so important to you?
This was your complete sentence.... People here hate Draymond Green because he gets under peoples skin, but love Nurk for doing the same thing See that love Nurk for doing the same thing? They do not do the same thing and if you think their antics are the same, they are not. One has antics. The other assaults people... This is not an antic. Its a violation of laws. You must know the difference I hope....
I was strictly talking about the way they play. NOT his bush league shit. SOMEONE else assumed that. We agree, so calm the fuck down.
I can't see how anything is wrong with LAC - they are talking to their own player who is under contract - nothing wrong there. HOU however... that's just fishy...
Your post is assuming that people hate Draymond because of his "antics." What does that even mean? First, you're assuming that you know why people hate Draymond. Second, from my experience, most people starting really hating him because of the kicking and the flailing. Most people turned on him during the series with OKC. So the kicking and flailing is PART of his "antics" as you describe them. They are one in the same. You just want to exclude them because they don't fit your narrative.
I don't agree. Most don't like Draymond because he's a loudmouth complainer who kicks people in the nuts and draws referee blood with no consequence. Getting under people's skin isn't it at all.
