Silver on Magic Johnson's $50k fine for tampering: Stop talking about players on other teams
Adam Silver on Magic Johnson, $50,000 fine: 'There's enough commentary out there'
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver commented the $50k fine for Lakers president Magic Johnson for tampering.
Per ESPN, "Context is everything, and there had been a prior issue with the Lakers early this season," Silver said. "And the message is -- not just to Magic but to all the executives in the league is -- stop talking about players on other teams."
"We'd love to hear players like Magic Johnson talk about how great young players are in the league," Silver said. "But there's enough commentary out there. And I think, when on balance, just asking them to refrain from that one aspect of talking about other players, isn't that big a deal."
