Mark Cuban fined US$600k for tanking comment

Playing your bench out of position for the rest of the year isn't the same as playing your usual rotation and deliberately missing shots or not playing D. I wonder if he'd stated that they want to give the bench players more opportunities (which is effectively tanking), would he get even an email from the head office?

Because then ten or so teams would be fined for tanking... slippery slope.

Dallas should be stripped of its draft pick for next year. Teams wouldn't tank if that was at risk, as opposed to fines that are meaningless to guys like Cuban.

It's crazy he's being fined for "detrimental statements" but no consequences for actually tanking.

Cuban is honest but will pay for his honesty. and now it looks like NBA are getting revenge by workplace BS. That's what happens when you open your mouth. But sitll I appreciate his honesty but NBA and Silver will make him pay.

Cuban & the Mavs will likely be getting a much bigger fine than that shortly.
