What is the difference with Lonzo Ball and Kyle Lowry and they are being attacked? They say it's a complicated issue, we may need to wait for NBA to stretch the details about it.
We need more information about this as I read some articles related to this, I still don't get it. Trades are public and there are official negotiations right so I don't think they will violate something that is an obvious mistake.
And before the final trade to be finalized, NBA is in the middle to approve the trade, right?
Yes. That's why I don't understand why NBA is stretching this issue like it's not a normal thing that had happened for the past few years.
Here is the full article about the "Tampering" that they are trying to pursue.
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-investigating-tampering-allegations-in-kyle-lowry-lonzo-ball-sign-and-trade-deals-per-report/I'll just put little bits of details on why it is a normal thing that had happened before and the reporters might also have some contribution to why NBA management is looking at it. The early news and rumors they release in social media and their inside sources that feeds them the scoop.
Tampering is believed to be a fairly common practice in the NBA overall. There's a common sense element to that. The overwhelming majority of major free agent deals are reported in the first several hours in which players and teams can legally negotiate. It seems far likelier that teams and players had preexisting contact than it is that they could, say, negotiate an $85 million deal in the first minute of free agency.
On Sunday, Aug. 1, Wojnarowski reported that the Heat were considered strong favorites to land Lowry for a package built around Goran Dragic and Precious Achiuwa. Those were ultimately the players sent to Toronto for Lowry. At exactly 6 p.m., ET on Aug. 2, the literal minute free agency began, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported that Ball would land in Chicago on a four-year, $85 million deal through a sign-and-trade.
