The NBA slammed $ 50,000 in fines on Warriors star Draymond Green after his suggestive remarks about Suns All-Star Devin Booker.
As a guest analyst on an NBA broadcast on TNT Friday, Green Booker asked to leave Phoenix while discussing the Suns’ recent success in the bubble, adding that the city’s not good for him. It’s not good for his career. ”
After news of the fine broke, Green posted six emojis “laughing on the floor” on Twitter.
After the Suns’ 119-112 victory over the Heat on Saturday, the team fifth in a row as the only undefeated squad in Orlando, Booker was asked about Green’s comments.
“I feel this is important for this organization, for the fans who have been held by us for this long time and still do,” Booker said. ‘Since I’m in Phoenix, we’ve not had the winning success we’ve had, but the support has been there.
“And this is what we owe to the fans, we owe it to the organization. It’s been a long time for us and I think this bubble opportunity was great for us, and we take advantage of it. ”
The NBA’s anti-tampering rule prohibits teams from interfering with other teams’ contractual relationships with players, including by expressing public interest in a player who is currently on contract with another team or informing the agent from another team of interest.
Following Green’s comments, TNT host Ernie Johnson asked Green deadpan if he was tampering.
“Maybe,” Green said.
