This is the second injury before the start of training camp. Remember Solomon Hill that put them even deeper in this SF quandary just a week or two ago?

Shumpert wants to leave because they won't play him and he thinks he should be a starter. Kyrie is a moron, but I guess he still landed in good position. Apparently he is really happy with the Boston move, so more power to him.

So how come LA only gets fined 500 K but Minnesota lost like 3 1st rounders? Is it a severity thing?

Theirs was salary cap tampering and they actually signed the guy (Joe Smith)

Because the Wolves came to an agreement with Joe Smith or whoever.

Minnesota circumvented the salary cap which is a much bigger crime than mere tampering which probably happens every day . They only punish it when you are dumb idiot who winks on national tv.

The Wolves are a special case, because they circumvented the cap, (something possibly done by other teams, we have no way of knowing) and there was material evidence, as Joe Smith dumped his agent and the agent gave the information about the illegal contract directly to the NBA. There was rock solid evidence and the sentence was 10 years in a pig pen.

Imagine if the lakers signed KCp for the vet minimum and them extended him next year at whatever the partial bird max is . That would be similar . What actually happened is that they signed him for 18 mill which is fair and he will have a substantial cap hold next year .

LiAngelo is the middle one who looks like he sucks, right? I confuse them so easily.

Yeah, and throw in that his dad is at war with the shoe companies, which locked him out of Team USA and other select teams, which cost him a chance to showcase himself. LaMelo is good enough that he'll probably still get to do that stuff barring disaster.
