Jamal Murray needs to be suspended (Update: fined $100K, no suspension)

[NyKnicks1714]

I don't care that they didn't suspend him but it should've been more or two fines (100k for money gesture + 100k for throwing stuff on the court).

1/150th of his salary vs 1/300th of his salary. That'll teach him!

[jack612]

They should at least let Jaden and NAW split the $100k

By this logic, no NBA fine would be sufficient.

Does nobody realize this is all entertainment?

There is zero proof ever that players pay any fine

The NBA just crank up the power on their magnets to pull all the jewellery off the players in their practice gyms if they don't pay.

NBA cares more about ratings than consistency or enforcing anything. Rudy got a 100k for making money sign to refs during regular season. Murray, makes money signs toward refs, throws a towel at a ref, then throws a heating pad into the court that could have injured a player. Yup, he’s gets the same 100k fine. A joke.

So it would make sense to suspend him...

Exactly.

I think its pretty ridiculous that he isnt getting suspended. It would be one thing if he just threw a single item on the court. At least you could make the case that he was just being careless and it flew out of his hands. The fact that he threw things onto the court twice is inexcusable, and shows a clear intent and disregard for player safety. lets be honest, if it was like... Reggie Jackson that did this, hed have been suspended. If the Nuggets were up 2 games to none, Murray probably wouldve been suspended. Its just because the Nuggets are down 0-2 and losing their second best player for a game makes it much more likely they go down 0-3 that they shrugged this off.

And get rid of fining players as an option altogether. Sure.

Why can't nobody realize it's all a script just like wrestling
It's just actors that are good at playing basketball

Star Player= Star Actor
Supporting role player= supporting actor

Coach = Director
Owner= Producer

No, fines are great for less egregious actions.

Nope players can miss on purpose whenever they are told.... Especially the free throw

[shrink]

Gobert makes money sign at ref and gets fined $100,000

Murray makes money sign at ref and gets fined $100,000, and throws a towel and heat pad on the court for ..free?

For sure they can, but the magnets make doubley sure the players stay on script.

...they do a good job of ensuring they only audition those with a magnetic personality to pull it off.

No suspension is weak sauce. I still contend the refs screwed up by not throwing him out of the game (thus nullifying the suspension).
