That very statement just confirmed Brunson's guilt @IanBegley .
The CBA’s Article XIII, Section 2(a)(i) says teams and players cannot have:
“promises, undertakings, representations, commitments, inducements, assurances of intent, or understandings”... “concerning any future Renegotiation, Extension … or entry into a new Player Contract.”
You just said Jalen "will be paid handsomely", meaning the agreement already took place.
BREAKING: The NBA has ruled on the Los Angeles Clippers in for salary cap circumvention investigations on Kawhi Leonard after yearlong probe -- stripping the franchise of 5 first-round picks, issuing a $30 million fine to owner Steve Ballmer and suspensions for Ballmer, Lawrence Frank and Gillian Zucker, sources tell ESPN.
Kawhi Leonard will have to pay $700,000 in restitution for improper benefits by the Clippers for his uncle and former business rep, Dennis Robertson. No contract void or suspension for Leonard. And Robertson -- who was fired by Leonard in June -- is being banned by the NBA from all business dealings.
@CJ_SMHG@RawnTheNotorius lets put it like this
the knicks and thunder played against the same team in the playoffs, the strategy employed against SGA didnt work against brunson, it actually worked so poorly that brunson now holds the record for highest PPG by a PG in the finals, so is SGA still better?
@CJ_SMHG@RawnTheNotorius responding to the first 2 words of my tweet but ignoring the rest of it. a point guards main job isnt defense, but you're gonna talk about who's better purely off that, if anything brunson is a better defender than luka, would you still rank luka higher?
@CJ_SMHG@RawnTheNotorius they do? and why are u acting like defense is the most required quality of a point guard? the dude in your profile picture was a horrible defender
@CJ_SMHG@RawnTheNotorius cade can average 9 assists all he wants wont change the fact that he averages like 4 turnovers off those assists
the major thing that differentiates brunson from point guards like sga or luka is the scoring, but even then, they both average 10 fta where brunson only averages 5
