Re: NBA Fines Pat Riley $25,000 For Tampering Comments On LeBron James

[RealGM Wiretap]

The NBA has fined Miami Heat President Pat Riley $25,000 for violating the league’s anti-tampering rule.

The fine is in response to comments Riley made during a June 4 radio interview regarding the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James in which he said he'd be open to a reunion with James. James played for the Heat from 2010 until 2014.

Riley will happily pay $25,000 every time if that's what it takes to lure LeBron back to his cave. This is like me having to pay a $250 fine for a parking violation.

How about the league automatically banning the team from signing the specific player every time it does this? A lifetime ban.

Not a bad idea!

A lifetime ban from being able to sign the player a team tampers with would definitely shut up all the chatter.

OMG. They actually posted what was said. Usually they only mention x person got fined for comments made and nothing about exactly what was said. This is revolutionary. Somebody actually thought to themselves that Hey we should post that in our reporting. Genius!
