I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Tampering is really hard to prove so Indy must have some sort of proof.

Didn't Danny get a fine for sitting next to Durant mother at a UT game? The Lakers will at least get a fine or something.

I think he'll re sign with the wolves for the minimum. They have playing time on the wing behind Butler and Wiggins.
CB Mock Deadline - Minnesota Timberwolves
Kemba Walker / Tyus Jones / Aaron Brooks
Jimmy Butler / Jamal Crawford / Treveon Graham
Rodney Hood / Nic Batum / Marcus Georges Hunt
Taj Gibson / Nemanja Bjelica / Jonas Jerebko
KAT / Derrick Favors / Cole Aldrich
Picks - 2018 CHA 1st (Lotto protected), none out

Noel apparently is now represented by Rich Paul.  His 3rd agent in less than a year.

Noel reportedly turned down a deal that averaged 17.5M.  His head is either way too big or he's getting some really dumb advice.

From the Mavs? Jeez...that would be the overpay of the century.

The last couple offseasons it wouldn't have been considering contracts for Mozgov, Biyambo, Mahinmi.  But this offseason is for the most part a whole different story (ignore Knicks Hardaway deal).  There's no reason for the Mavs to cave in.  They should just dare Noel to take the qualifying offer.

See, it still would've been an overpay, same as all those deals were at the time. Teams acted like kids in a sweet store with the cap spike, spending at will. It was widely said at the time that because there was no cap smoothing, some of these teams would get found out a few years later. They did, the Lakers basically crippled their cap, as did the Knicks and Magic.
The reason that Noel can't get anything this summer is because of contracts like Mozgov clogging other teams' cap space. So he's hard done by in that regard, but anything over $10-12m for Noel is an overpay based on the value of his skillset in the modern NBA.

Yeah, but that was obvious and dumb by Danny, and wasn't tampering.  You're not allowed to have contact with amateur players' family members like that, barring a pre-existing relationship.

You didn't just say overpay.  You said overpay of the century.  I was pointing out that was a severe exaggeration.  With the Knicks Hardaway contract, it wouldn't even be the overpay of this offseason.  Mozgov, Biyambo, Mahinmi, to name a few, are much worse. 

Noel is a good defensive center who can defend on the perimeter.  He's very switchable.  He also runs the court well as well as finishes on pick and rolls.  That's still a good skillset for a center in the modern NBA.
