Report: Jason Kidd to be fined $50K for intentionally spilling drink on the court to stop play in loss to Lakers

Jason Kidd used a loophole in the rules to force a stoppage in play late in his team’s loss to the Lakers on Wednesday, and that bit of creativity is going to cost him a fair bit of cash in the form of a fine from the league office.


We saw this coming, and it sends a message that the league doesn’t want its players and especially its coaches gaming the system like this in order to gain an unfair advantage.

It’s worth wondering if Kidd’s post-game comments where he denied any intention, in combination with the video that clearly shows him telling his player to “hit me” before he dropped his drink on the court contributed to the amount of his fine.

“The cup slipped out of my hand,” Kidd said afterward. “I was getting tired. Sweaty palms. … In the heat of the battle you’re trying to get guys in and out of the game, and the coke fell out of my hand.”

Obviously, that was a complete fabrication.

The league’s fines are typically in the $25,000-$35,000 range for the majority of punishable offenses.

no its not

he had no timeouts, he purposely did something to get an extra timeout, 50k is perfect

 

[ny mavurs]

Lebron is never going back to Cleveland

 

[ballinsam23]

Do you guys think Anthony Bennet has value in the league? Like can they realistically get a top 10 pick for him?

what everyone fails to realize about the pipe dream of Lebron returning to Cleveland is........

Dan Gilbert is still the owner of the team.

My favorite part about the whole Kidd/cup thing? Postgame, when Kidd was like "It just slipped. I was never too good with the ball."

C'mon, son.
