Blazers had illegal contact with Yang Hansen - Oliva and Schmitz suspended (2 Viewers)

[SharpesTriumph]

How about as a punishment we have to give Yang back to the Grizzlies and they send us Coward?

What happened with the Clippers? That was filthy as it gets.

For real though…

Was this really just swept under the rug by the league?

So once the actual facts (or at least, a more realistic telling of what happened) it really seems incredibly tame and just stupid.

But any chance people can say stupid shit about the team or Cronin or whatever (all to sound like they're smarter than everyone else on twitter), and people will take it.

Again, NOT saying this about anyone here. I'm passive aggressively talking about other places.

don't assume I'm guessing correctly on the actual violation. I was just speculating on the press release. It might be something different

You don’t have to clarify. We all know that everybody here is smarter than everyone else on Twitter.

A wad of used toilet paper is smarter than everyone else on Twitter.

The Twolves situation was significantly worse, as they were fined 3.5 million and lost picks. Being fine 100K isn't really much of a fine.

Yeah, for NBA teams that's negligible

 

[Jelloman]

Blazers as guilty as it can be, NBA needs to reverse that trade. Make us take Coward back and give up the 28 Memphis pick. DO IT!!!

Portland Trail Blazers Assistant General Manager Mike Schmitz was suspended for two weeks without pay.

So....not a big fucking deal.

 

[Strenuus]

For an absolutely awful player too.

Damn this is so bad on so many levels. Just so fuckikg stupid.

That explains why Dundon was angry with Cronin.

He was?

 

[julius]

He was?

That's like when he jokes that the team should trade so and so because their 'value' will never be higher. He's not being serious.

2 weeks?

Clearly they should all be fired and clearly Yang will never get better and clearly this was probably one of those "well, that's the minimum we can do about it...so hey, next time? Just don't do it" things.

Fans (as usual) massively overreacted to something. It did give Dwight and Canzano something to milk for a while though.

I was wondering why he was so agitated in all the footage of him at the game

If he’d been better the fine would have been worse
