what's up with all the player altercations and beefing with the refs almost nightly it seems. most guys don't look like they really wanna fight tbh but Afflalo really swung at him smh, that's a broken hand level punch and his shooting hand at that.

That's a suspension. Speaking of which, I'm wondering what the punishment will be for the lockerroom marauders.

The league needs to take control and settle things down. I read Silver is having a meeting with the players and refs during all-star weekend so maybe that will help. But things seem to be pretty out of control at this point. Maybe Afflalo will be made an example of? Or the Clips/Rockets guys? Hit 'em where it hurts!

I heard that the NBA doesn't want to fine more than $50K because then the players can fight it.

They really need to make it be a portion of a guy's pay, instead of a flat amount.
Do you know if they can fight a suspension too?

And I have no idea why Bjelica got ejected too.
Re: Around the League: Week 14 1/15-1/21
Yeah, he did a good job ducking the punch otherwise Afflalo would really be in trouble.Indy wrote:And I have no idea why Bjelica got ejected too.

Agree fines should be based on per game pay. Half game fine, quarter game fine, full game fine etc.Indy wrote:They really need to make it be a portion of a guy's pay, instead of a flat amount.

Wasn’t Chris Paul the one who led the everyone to the clippers lockeroom? Doesn’t sound like someone trying to diffuse a situation.

That's just what was initially reported. Who knows if it was true

Come on. They're not going to penalize the president of the players association.

That Afflalo punch was really scary. If he had connected, he could have broken bones or given the dude a concussion or other serious injury.

I think I'd rather be the guy getting the concussion than the guy breaking fingers.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:That Afflalo punch was really scary. If he had connected, he could have broken bones or given the dude a concussion or other serious injury.

On my shooting hand as a professional basketball player (and the same hand I use for other purposes on proficient levels as well).Cap wrote: I think I'd rather be the guy getting the concussion than the guy breaking fingers.

Well, at least on the first half of that statement you have a guaranteed contract. Can't help you on the other part, though.Ring_Wanted wrote:On my shooting hand as a professional basketball player (and the same hand I use for other purposes on proficient levels as well).Cap wrote: I think I'd rather be the guy getting the concussion than the guy breaking fingers.

So who got the best return for a star this offseason: Cleveland, Chicago or Indiana?
