The players themselves were still allowed to talk. Any discussion involving any team personnel was prohibited. So like I said, when Riley got involved it became collusion, but when it was just Wade Bosh and Lebron talking it was permissible.Commander of Awesome;1635033 wrote:Not when they're under contract with different organizations talking to other non FAs. Which is what they clearly did dating back to the Olympics.

You mean exactly what the Spurs did? When their top 3 players made less combined than Kobe?SportsAndLady;1635038 wrote:
There's no CBA violation, but they are damaging the leagues stance on competitive balance and parity by taking paycuts welllllll below what their value is. All I'm saying.

Not quite true. Players are not allowed to talk to players currently under contract about where to play, salaries, etc. Its permissible for players to try to recruit FREE AGENTS but you can't even talk to a player not on your team under contract.lhslep134;1635046 wrote:The players themselves were still allowed to talk.

Are they colluding now? No, I don't think they technically are doing anything wrong. Did they in 2010? No doubt.

They all elected to take pay cuts below market value. If that isn't exactly what you railed against, then you're a spin doctor.SportsAndLady;1635049 wrote:Were there offers on the table for the spurs guys that they had to choose from? Honest question
