NBA fines James Harden $100k over recent comments; NBPA files grievance
According to Bobby Marks, $100,000 is the most the NBA can fine a player for "conduct or statements prejudicial or detrimental to the best interests of basketball, the NBA, or a team."For the league’s purposes on the fine, Harden’s comments that he would never be part of an organization that included Morey played a bigger part in the fine, sources said. It touched on the league’s rules concerning public trade demands. https://t.co/AZxe6kKpNv
