NBA Fines Warriors Owner Lacob $50,000 For Simmons Comments

The NBA fined Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob $50,000 for violating the leagues antitampering rule with comments he made about Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons.

NEW YORK: The NBA fined Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob $50,000 for violating the leagues anti-tampering rule with comments he made about Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons.

Lacob said the Warriors had no interest in the disgruntled Sixers guard.

In some ways, it doesnt really fit what were doing, Lacob said this week. He makes a lot of money. And, can he finish games? I dont know.

Hes very talented. The problem is: We have Draymond (Green). Draymond and him are very similar in the sense that neither one really shoots and they do a lot of the playmaking. Thats one issue. The salary structure is another.
