Meh reported on SC, there is no CBA, may not be possible to go after them for tampering. Nobody is under contract while there is not CBA, there is no players union.

Then again, Teams were to have no contact with players while the CBA junk was going on, so who knows.

If its not tampering than its a violation of the league's no contact rule during the CBA.

What does that carry as far as fines and/or discipline?

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

So ORL is saying HOU had some hand in tampering as well?


This is going to go nowhere

Stern's decision. No set amount.

Ok, let's say the League has some logic and they prove this. Worst case scenario, I still end up with Nene, which is not a bad Plan B.(Remember it wasn't until Plan F last year before the Nets did anything)

This is looking like a repeat of 96 for the Magic all over again.

Worse case scenario: You end up with Nene. Lose your first round picks for 12, 14 and 16 and Prokorov gets a big fine. In response, the Russian murders Stern and his family.

Again, it's 1996 all over again for them. But for their sake, I hope they can prove it this time.

If it's true, I'd applaud the Nets for being dirty. Let's me know that they're actually trying to bring somebody here and not sit on their hands like they've done in the past. If you wanna be like the Lakers, Heat, Celtics, Knicks of the world....gotta get your hands dirty. In the words of Nino Brown: "This is Big Business, baby".

I just listened to Lamar Odom's interview last night with Stephen A. Smith.

Oh my...I couldn't even get through it. He sounded like someone in the family died. Talking about, "I had a dream".

He was talking all kind of nonsense about if he rubbed someone the wrong way with the reality show and all kinds of garbage. Just crying...literally.

I don't know how he'll make it through the season anywhere but L.A.

L.A. has to take him off the trade block because he sounded like he should be on suicide watch. Whatever trade value you guys claimed he had...is gone.

So we've gone from this

sam_amick: The root of Orlando’s potential tampering charge against Houston, source says, is alleged meeting w/ coach Kevin McHale & Dwight Howard.

To this:

I respect this more than anything else being mentioned.

He makes some good points... but most will see it as just "hating."

Why I feel Lakers, Houston, and NO have probable cause to complain. This shatters value and leverage across the board, and blows up team chemistries. Think the damage is done and the trade needs to go through, live and learn.

This dude Lamar said "I had a dream" and started crying.

Oh, what you Dr. King now all of a sudden?

ORL is just scared because they most likely dont have a plan B
