Cuban And Kerr Fined For LeBron Comments

From the NBA their own selves, accentuated in bold-faced type...

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has been fined $100,000 for public comments made in violation of the NBA’s anti-tampering rules. Cuban’s comments were made during an online interview that ran on May 18.

That would be this one with Poppy Harlow and CNNMoney.com


Phoenix Suns President of Basketball Operations Steve Kerr has been fined $10,000, also for public comments made in violation of the anti-tampering rules. Kerr’s comments were made on a radio show on May 14...

That would be here... from the Dan Patrick Show...

The HQ thinks that Cuban kinda got his on reputation alone... his comments were prefaced with the "July 1st" remark. Kerr was joking, if you listen in context...

Obviously, Commissioner Stern doesn't like jokes or prefaced comments...
