Yep he pretty much admitted he has been tampering for years. NBA did not stop him. Tried to get players to play in Cleveland. Some rejected. Tried to get Paul George to Cleveland. He is not stopping trying to get players to play for him in LA.
He is breaking rules and the NBA seems ok with it. He don’t care what you think.

LeBron is cancerous to this league. Dude has everyone wrapped around his finger and it's sickening.

The league office has been in contact with LeBron James about his social media post referencing "Jewish money," accepted his explanation that he made a mistake and the NBA will take no action, league source tells ESPN.

thats why i believe the media and lebron are trying to get AD now with all of these early talks because i think the superstars are not going to join him in helping him win another title because it will be all about him and not the team winning.....i think lebron is getting desperate and see the writing on the wall.. -
12-25-2018, 03:40 PMEman5805
The sentiment that we're kind of hypocrites for being against LeBron coming after AD is...nothing. You may as well be saying "You have no problem with our team beating other teams. But would hate another team to come in and beat ours."
No ********... -
12-25-2018, 03:41 PMDaFranchise80I agree 100%....lebron IMO is trying to take advantage of the fact that AD is not known to be an alpha on and off the court.Quote:

I’m not Lebron’s biggest fan, but I respect him as one of the best to ever play the game. He has been a joy to watch at times despite some of his antics on and off the court. Obviously, I think he is in the wrong, but he is surely not the only player that does this.

MM is 100% correct. Y’all hate LBJ for doing something y’all wish AD would do. The LBJ hate is dumb. Furthermore, if he was a Pel, these same people saying that they hate him would be supporting him 100%
-
12-25-2018, 07:15 PMEman5805And, again, I want my team to beat other teams. I do not want other teams to beat ours. So in the exact same token, I want the best players on our team to assist in acquiring better players from others...so we can win more games than we lose.Quote:

Not looking good for Dell is it? On that note if AD is not doing it that pretty much means..., -

Meh, he was tampering, he should get hit for that.
But yeah, every one of us would want AD to do the same. Oh well. -

Whether we'd like AD doing it or not isn't the point. If something is against the rules and you get away with it, then obviously that helps you and other people wish they could also get away with it. That doesn't change the fact that it's against the rules in the first place and should never have been allowed.

There is no rule against players "tampering". They can recruit whenever and however they want. The rules are there to prevent teams from doing so.
-
12-26-2018, 05:40 PMMythrolThere absolutely is a rule on the books for player tampering with the highest allowable fine of $50,000. The issue is the NBA has decided that they will not enforce any player tampering rule unless there is evidence that the team the player is on is also tampering.Quote:

It really is a dumb rule.

Lol. They're going to talk. I hate the superstar foul treatment and this new super team league but telling LeBron he can't do this is idiotic and will never work. -

Memo: "This principle is particularly important in today's media environment, where any actions or comments relating to potential player movement receive immediate and widespread public attention. Teams should be entitled to focus their efforts on the competition this season..." https://t.co/m1VVWmnCUX

More NBA memo: "...with the players they have under contract, without having to divert attention or resources to conduct or speculation regarding the potential destinations of those players in future seasons once their contracts expire." Translated: Knock it off w/ Anthony Davis.
