Players are not prohibited from tampering.
Can't the players say whatever they want?

I'm sure the league isn't thrilled with that kind of stuff and may even send a note to Dame and the Blazers. They know the players talk and recruit each other, but they probably aren't ok with something that blatant. Opens a can of worms.

From the collective bargaining agreement -
"Any Player who, directly or indirectly, entices, induces, persuades or attempts to entice, induce, or persuade any Player, Coach, Trainer, General Manager or any other person who is under contract to any other Member of the Association to enter into negotiations for or relating to his services or negotiates or contracts for such services shall, on being charged with such tampering, be given an opportunity to answer such charges after due notice and the Commissioner shall have the power to decide whether or not the charges have been sustained; in the event his decision is that the charges have been sustained, then the Commissioner shall have the power to suspend such Player for a definite or indefinite period, or to impose a fine not exceeding $50,000, or inflict both such suspension and fine upon any such Player. "

I’ve seen the $50,000 fine given out, but that’s all they do

These guys win or lose $50K playing card games on airplanes. That fine is nothing to someone like Lillard.

Both teams have reported interest in Ayton. This deal is pretty interesting and I'm not totally buying the Spurs interest in John Collins. I'd expect him to be moved to a third team.

Why would the Spurs trade Murray? That's so wild to me.

Would it be weird if they're going full tank for the 2022-23 season and asked Murray if he'd rather be moved to a more competitive team?
He's good, but let's not get carried away about his future. His market value is probably the highest it'll ever be right now in large part due to his contract. The perspective would be different if he were on De'Aaron Fox money right now, for example.
There's also the Klutch factor. Murray and his reps could be quietly asking out of San Antonio as they appear to be resetting their roster with more youth recently.

The players run the league in the Adam Silver era.

Are the Spurs doing that so they can include Collins in a trade package with us to get Ayton?San Antonio and Atlanta remain engaged on trade conversations regarding a larger deal centered around Dejounte Murray and John Collins, sources said.
If you're the Spurs, what's the point of acquiring Ayton if you lose Murray and don't have much of a team to put around him?

Maybe Pop thinks he can turn Ayton into a Duncan like player

If DA wants to be "the man" with more touches, not sure the Spurs are the team/system for him. He can ask LMA how that worked when he signed there.

Lakers make the most sense with LBJ but I think they'd need to find a way, maybe with a 3rd team, to move Westbrook and keep LBJ, Kyrie and AD together. RW has an opt-in as well and I think it's tricky to just trade he and Kyrie.
I think the Clips could be a darkhorse since Lue coached Kyrie in Cleveland. They don't have great assets, it'd be Reggie Jackson's expiring deal plus some combo of Marcus Morris, Kennard and Powell, maybe Mann thrown in. But a Big 3 of Kyrie, PG and Kawhi - as unreliable as they are - would be as talented a trio as there is IMO.
