NBA To Propose Fines For Times Who Rest Multiple Stars For Same Game

[RealGM Wiretap]

The NBA's Competition Committee has recommended stricter guidelines on resting players for national television games and multiple stars together in the same games.

The Board of Governors will vote on the measure this week.

Under new the proposed new rules, teams would be fined $100,000 for a first violation, $250,000 for a second violation and $1 million more than the previous penalty for each additional violation, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The league will define a star by someone who has made an All-Star or All-NBA team in any of the past three seasons.

We have to keep an eye on those "Times." They cannot be trusted.

I guess kawhi good then. Doubt he made all nba or an all star team in the last 3 seasons. I could be wrong though.

At some point, teams have to lose a 2nd round pick. 6 figure fines means nothing.

Good idea, but unenforceable. Teams will just sight some nagging injury or another.

I think the NBA should only have home back-to-backs and only allow rest games at home. Avoid rest games in arenas that only have one or two chances a year to see a particular star.
