Kawhine can be suspended if he's medically cleared and refuses to play, according to the CBA FAQ section on Player Discipline:

"The CBA does not give a complete list of reasons for which a player can be fined or suspended, although some are specified:

  • Intentional failure or refusal to render the services required under the player's contract or the CBA: Suspension (length unspecified)."

leonard went to multiple doctors and each cleared him, he kept looking and found one guy in NY who gave him what he wanted to hear. Gave em the green light to sit out.

It would never get the 60% support required by the board of governors. The east conference teams wouldn't cut their own throats like that.

Cool. So you if you're adam Silver you just take the top 16 teams then to the playoffs and keep East and West conferences. Give them a stupid banner like division leaders and call it good

Make it much more NFL like.

Division teams you face 5 times each = 20 games.

2 other divisions 3 times each = 30 games

3 remaining divisions 2 times each = 30 games.

(These divisions rotate)
20 + 30 + 30 = 80.

2 less games. Whatever. Shortens the season a little.

Take top 16 teams into the playoffs but make it one pyramid instead of two.

So 1 v 16, 2 v. 15...

Give banners for division championships.

Good enough for me. And evens out the all star game. Keep the picked teams format.

Isn’t this lakers team worse than his Cleveland team? I don’t get this move unless a kawhi trade is coming down. Now he must go through the warriors, rockets, pelicans, and us. Weird move unless kawhi is guaranteed to be heading to LA

I think it is that the Lakers have Cap Space and the ability to attract free agents that Cleveland didn’t. Lakers also have 3 young players that could be stars. Cleveland was stuck. Without Bron, Cleveland still have good chance to make playoffs if East. Thompson, Love, Hood, Hill, and Smith is not a bad starting five.
 
LeBron going to LA without another star is about the most compelling story I've seen in sports. His legacy has been going toe to toe with MJ for the last 5+ years. One of the biggest excuses for LeBron's Finals run was that the East is so weak. After the guy takes a below average Cavs team to the Finals while playing every game of the season and postseason, he decides to join the Western Conference at the absolute height of it's dominance. Not only does LeBron join a conference with one of the best teams in the history of the game, he joins a 65 win Houston, and a number of emerging powerhouses in Utah, Denver and New Orleans. In addition, he's joining a team that hasn't won a playoff game in years. Once again, he's going to a terrible team with the expectation that he can take them to the promised land. If he does, MJ is no longer the greatest. They are equals, depending on how many LBJ wins....
