Actually, I think the owners would be all for something like that - they’d probably be able to exercise more control over superstars. It’s players who I don’t think would want that. Some make lots of money, others aspire to. Currently, rookies get their tech fines paid off by the team or vet players, I’m pretty sure, or at least I’m pretty sure that’s how they do it on the Raptors
Comment on [Pompey] It’s official. The NBA has fined James Harden $100,000 for public comments.

Yeah the owners would want it, but to negotiate power like that you gotta give something up. I just think it’s such a rare occurrence that you’d want to fine a guy more than $100k that it’s not a big priority.

or at least scale with the salary cap.
