    Mark cuban has been fined more than a million before and multiple times if I remember correctly.

    As for players, I'm sure sprewell (choking) and the Indy team with attest were fined a ton for the palace debacle.

    But "can't touch the realest because he always come out on top".

    Oh, and he did it because "a friend is becoming a boss girl", which changes everything, of course.

    Man, f this self-centered *******. I have had it with him and this entire culture of entitlement.

    Fixed it for you.

    Pretty sure a person making 40k a year would be pissed they have a $50 fine.

    They should fine both the owner and player equally. In Tilmans case, 10x for being such a shitty owner.

    So what happened here? I need a summary. Harden broke protocol and in an unrelated event someone else got Covid and maybe passed it around to a few other players? How would the whole team not have been exposed. There’s too many threads to keep up with.

    I can’t wait for him to be gone from this team. We’ll be in the wilderness for many, many years. But this era needs to end. He has burned the bridge and is clearly very, very stupid.

    So they just fined him 50 with no facts? He goes out to any venue he wants, it’s the protocol to not do that. He didn’t follow it, so you punish a player to prove a point. He will do it again.

    Statistically, he was right. Harden's fine is the equivalent of a $50 fine for someone with a $40K salary.

    How about we pretend it's a 5 game suspension.

    Just for you.

    Merry Christmas.

    Harden is becoming a much richer and more talented Johnny Manziel. He’s a slow motion train wreck, and it just kind of feels like he will ultimately become his own undoing. It’s like you can almost see it happening in real time. I hope he gets his **** together, because as a human being, I’m legitimately worried about the dude. He seems lost, and it feels like we’ve all seen this story before.

    depends how long the protocol for reintegration is. If its more than 5 consecutive negative tests, Harden will miss the game Saturday.
