The NBA Taking Draft Picks from the Sixers is a Big Fat Joke

I forgot to do this post yesterday:
The league’s investigation found no wrongdoing in James Harden’s near $15 million pay cut last summer – but findings showed that the 76ers made early free agency discussions with Danuel House Jr. and PJ Tucker, NBA says. https://t.co/7cT18MPSnV

Well woop-dee-fuckin’ doo! Guess what? The Sixers did what every NBA team does and has been doing for years!
Seriously. The Denver Nuggets signed DeAndre Jordan as soon as the free agency period began. Did they get disciplined by the NBA? No, they didn’t. Anything in the “tampering” family of stories is a nothing burger and always has been. It’s on the NBA to fix the rule instead of deciding which teams it wants to reprimand. Get your shit together, NBA.
*Honestly, it was important to debunk the Harden conspiracy theory. The QAnon of NBA Twitter. The guy took a pay cut because he wanted to win. End of story.
