A lot of things are “against the CBA” the NBA selectively enforces some doesn’t enforce others the whole Adam Silver MO

this reminds me of something else i thought of earlier and forot to post

if the Lakers pulled out of this deal the NBA would be forced to truly investigate the tampering aspect

like with the leaks you referenced, we all know tampering is rampant in the NBA and it's often ignored. they couldn't ignore it after this, b/c you'd basically have an agent tampering with a player, destroying his value by directing the player to a single franchise, and then THAT franchise reneging on the trade so that it could use this leverage (via tampering) to get a better deal

there is no way on God's green earth the NBA could allow that
