All 30 NBA teams received a memo from the league office Friday reminding them that no form of bullying or hazing will be tolerated, according to league sources.
The memo, sources said, references the Miami Dolphins' ongoing bullying scandal and urges NBA players to report anything if they feel the need while also spelling out specific violations of the league's policies.
Sources said the memo reiterated a number of prohibited behaviors that would violate league policy.
The lengthy list of violations, sources said, includes: any physical abuse or threats of violence; verbal abuse focused on an individual's race, nationality, color, gender, age, religion, sexuality, etc.; destruction, defacement or theft of a fellow player's personal property; engaging in any activity that intimidates or threatens fellow players with ostracism or inflicts extreme mental stress, embarrassment, humiliation or shame; and forcing an individual to engage in any activity or perform any task that violates federal, state or local law or NBA rules and regulations.
Also prohibited, sources said, is requiring an individual to unreasonably pay for meals, travel, entertainment expenses, goods or services that are being solely enjoyed by others as well as imposing physical activities on a fellow player -- such as exposure to weather, confinement in a restricted area, or consumption of food, liquid or substance -- that leads to unreasonable risk for the individual or adversely affects their mental or physical health or safety.

What happened to my Cavaliers? Before they couldn't defend and now they can't shoot?
Because that's a pretty big improvement on defense if it is.

I may not get a hopeful Cavaliers season but it's nice to know I can still look forward to James Dolan continuously hamstringing his franchise with awful personnel decisions at every level. I think he may have taken Donald Sterling's title of NBA's worst owner.
funniest part is he thinks Ginoboli is directly behind him

With Tyson Chandler out 4-6 weeks with a broken fibula the Knicks are having a tough time finding room to sign a big man (or anyone for that matter) to back him up thanks to JR Smith's younger brother being given a roster spot and guaranteed money. Chris Smith has been described by opposing GM's as "maybe the worst player in the history of the summer league."
According to Adrian Wojnarowski the Knicks are already counting on Kevin Love (a free agent if he opts out early in 2015) to keep Melo from bailing come next July when he has publicly stated he intends to opt out of his contact and test free agency.
Say hello to your ever growing fan base, Brooklyn. James Dolan is doing more for you than Jay-Z ever could.
“I guess we’ve got to win,’’ Anthony said Monday when asked by the Daily News about Dolan’s guarantee. “The owner said it. I guess we got to make it happen. We want to win. If he said it, he’s put the pressure on us to go out there and win the game.’’

Is that Bargnani?

Just miming in the corner what a defender might look like.

I think the Jazz have this tanking shit on lockdown.
Boston or Philly will still win the lottery though. The most hyped prospect since Lebron ain't going to be playing in freaking Utah.
i need the shimmy back in my life, if only for just a season

So you're saying you want to trade back for Perkins? Because that ought to do it.
I'd take Big Baby and Nate Robinson back.
fucking Dolan man
