Can confirm, they do pull you over for going 40 on 25. Had to take a defensive driving class + pay some fees for that.
Not here in The Bay. You gotta be 20 over to get a cop or CHP to blink.

I'm officially cheering for Zion to leave (preferably after signing the QO, so they get nothing) and for Griffin to get canned.

Redick on his podcast:
It’s a little bit for show probably, I guess. I don’t know. I think you would probably have to ask the guy who’s asking for the investigation. Some teams cleared a ton of cap space to get Kyle, and it didn’t happen. And then Lonzo leaving. So you’d have to ask that guy, that guy complaining.
Maybe Redick’s insinuation is fair. Maybe it’s not.
New Orleans was willing to go to $90 million over three years or more, according to a source, but Lowry never leaned toward going there, according to the source

Feel the same, but I wonder if August is a big league vacation month (like most organizations) and if that is slowing things. Probably will simmer until after Labor Day.

I am trying to decide if the Bulls are found Guilty what is a realistic punishment (value) by the NBA.
Last year Milw. lost their Late 2nd rd pick (Holiday trade was already agreed to, league knew Milw. was in the Top Tier of teams).
Late 2nd rd pick this year has a league value of $2 Mil.
New Rules were made:
1. NBA elevated maximum tampering fine to $10M for teams
2. opened door for suspension of executives
3. forfeiture of draft picks
4. voiding of contracts.
It has been reported that the voiding of Ball contract will Not Happen.
So looking at last years Milw. punishment value be around $2 Mil. , would a fine of $4 Mil. and a lost of the 2023 Denver 2nd rd pick (value again around $2 Mil) for a Total Value of $6 Million be proper value punishment ?
Thoughts ???

I say they strip us of the 2023 1st that is going to Orlando anyway. That will teach us!
Seriously though, I suppose it depends what they find relative to what other teams are doing. We all know the rules are capricious, so it really just depends on if we're doing something that's an order of magnitude different than other teams.
I like the speeding example.
If everyone's going 10 over and we're doing 15 over, then they probably just pulled us over to see if we're drunk and let us off with a wrist slap (2nd + medium fine). If they get in there and find out we were doing all kinds of stuff we shouldn't that is well beyond the normal hijinks (40 over and drag racing someone) then we'll probably get hit with a 1st and the max fine and possibly a suspension of AK for some period of time.
