Clippers executive Jerry West raves about Warriors’ Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green
West, via the TK Show:
| Quote: | | Kevin Durant, I don’t know. Obviously, he’s one of my favorite players I’ve ever watched play. His size, the efficiency that he plays the game is scary. And then you have Steph over there, your little, your next-door-neighbor kid. Let’s go play with him. And then you get out there, and then you find out, oh my god, this guy’s a killer. But pretty unique with that. And the complementary players, in their own right, they’re great. There’s Klay Thompson. He just goes and plays and never seeks any credit. He just plays and really competitive. Draymond, the guy that drives the horse. They’ve got some really unique players up there, and it’s still fun for me to watch. I watch them play. I root for them, because I know some of the players. |

Magic's fine was just a couple of weeks ago. He must have known about the rule. He essentially he did what Magic did with Giannis. The tampering rule is stupid but he tampered with four players and his fine should be bigger.

You don't know guys, don't forget the "context"...
I wouldn't fine him for that, but given the penalty the Lakers received, Clippers should be fined too. Adam Silver crossed a ridiculous line to give Magic a lesson and now he has to follow it, no matter the "contexts" his apologists come up with. It was much, much worse than what Magic said.

| He should get fined based off what happened to Magic, but I personally wouldn't fine him. But know the NBA has to stay consistent so we'll see. |

It is not the same as Magic, ignore that all you want. When were the Clippers fined for tampering and told not to talk about players from other teams? Because that is what happened with Magic. Again, ignore that and keep up the incessant whining.

So are you saying Jerry West should just get a warning for this?

That's exactly what's wrong, where you see the double standard. Either something is crime or it's not. One thing can't be a crime for A and not for B.
Where your past actions should make a difference is the penalty you'll get for the crime. Silver must decide: is it allowed to talk about other players or it isn't? Being legal for some and illegal for others is the basic definition of double standard.

| Silver: Was it the Lakers, Magic or Pelinka? Then, no that's not tampering. |

I am saying that he wasn’t specifically told by the commissioner to stop talking about players from other teams or else. The Laker FO was.

Silver had decided that after 2 strikes he wanted the Laker FO to STFU. If you think that has no bearing, it does. He said that was the reason Magic was fined. Punishment typically increases with additional infractions, this time he let them off easy.

Yeah but he knows he can't talk about other teams players under contract.

He likely won’t be punished just as Magic wouldn’t have if not for the previous 2 strikes.

I guess you won't have to worry about any of this when you become a Hornets fan after the Rich Cho firing huh?  |

This should illicit a warning from the league. On his next offense the fines should be levied.
So same as the Lakers. |

Listen to the Silver interview, it has nothing to do with what Magic said and everything about being a 3 time repeat offender.
