    Do these rules also apply to the Magic players?

    This is so forced. I know it's a lot of money, but really don't think it's reasonable to expect everyone to be compliant. Getting doubts that this will actually happen.

    If a player doesn't want to be compliant he can leave and not play. But then I think the pressure of their team will come down on them and that will be enough to keep them compliant and make it work.

    Players will have to stay focused on the prize. It has to be an ALL BUSINESS attitude to win it all. Which it usually is for a team to succeed. This is about winning a title, not a family fun vacation. I think most players will go with that goal. Yes, there probably will be someone who will test it, but a 10 day hold, could cost your team dearly.

    That should become a rule for every season after this one, too.

    Another reason I think we may have an advantage having a non nonsense disciplined leader like Dame. We will be one of the most focused teams I think.
