I assume they just don't pick anybody when their turn comes up. In 2026 and 2028.
So there are only 58 kids drafted instead of 60? That doesn't feel right at all and I'm surprised the league would do this.
At the same time I'm trying to think of a better answer but I don't know what it is.

And we will continue signing our guys. Because we did nothing wrong. If needed we gonna buy extra 10 spare 2nd rounders from OKC to do that.

The NBA just said you did. That's the point of this thread.

Profile pic checks out.
You negotiated a deal with a FA and completed a S&T for him in the first min of FA? Seems unlikely.TheFinishSniper wrote:randy84 wrote:The punishment doesn't make sense. Bucks got the same penalty and didn't sign the guy. Miami and Chicago actually signed their guys.

That's the point. You got caught flagrantly breaking the rules in acquiring a HoFer and the consequence of which was to fine you 1% of his illegally completed contract.TheFinishSniper wrote:randy84 wrote:TheFinishSniper wrote:And we will continue signing our guys.

Well if did something wrong I hope we continue doing it wrong. Leads to having good franchise and good NBA players. Because if NBA found something wrong with what we did punishment wouldnt be $3M dollar fine which is price of 2nd rounder on NBA market is. We got punished because some GM crybaby complained how they couldnt do same what Bulls and 28 teams around league do each year. Next year we will sign player one minute later and everything will be fine.

To be clear, it's more of a league accounting thing. The league doesn't know revenues of the previous year until the end of the league's fiscal year. Which means they don't know what the cap will be for the upcoming season. If you don't know the cap how can you sign FAs?Capn'O wrote:hoosierdaddy34 wrote:Tampering rules remain the most pointless thing in the NBA.

We're discussing this on our board:

You're correct that no team gains a competitive advantage by having discussions before the signing date. That is, once the season ends meaning all games are finished, the only point to keeping the moratorium on "tampering" is to ensure that the official signing day is an event. As a fan, I think the NBA does this right. It's really exciting to see all these contracts signed at once and it's something I tune in for.
So basically, this is the NBA saying "keep your **** to yourself before the official date" because they recognize what you recognize regarding competitive advantage. None was gained by either Chicago or Miami. Just keep the media thing preserved.
