Very shitty, but not unheard of.

OKC forfeited a 2nd Rd pick because of the Jeff Green deal. Philly is claiming the Lakers withheld info in the Bynum deal.

I wonder how the league views the penalties here: is $3M a bigger blow than a 2nd?

And, IMO, Holiday has to speak up. Wanting to be out there for your team is noble and admirable. Disregarding pain and/or potential injury as a 22, 23, 24 year old up and comer is just reckless. It's not bitching, it's advocating for yourself and protecting your health. And to be clear, teams need to encourage that type of response from players.

Jrue was trying to get out of a bad situation with the 76ers. He knew that if he said something his chances of leaving that S*** hole would decline and he would be stuck there. He was 22 and the docs were telling him he was healing fine. At 22 everyone thinks their immune to injury and sickness, especially men, which is why most younger men don't have health insurance and do not visit the doc frequently.
Jrue did what 90% of us do on job interview's when asked a question that could put a stain on our character/resume and lead to us not getting the job. WE LIE!
