That makes sense. A quick internet search suggests that the $100K handed to Harden is indeed 100% of the max player fine per the CBA. Also, the current CBA, which expires this year I think, took effect July 1, 2017.
It would make more sense to scale with the player's salary, but which owner is really going to negotiate super hard for something like that?
or at least scale with the salary cap.
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
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.
pretty sure we’re in the new CBA rules now. but i don’t think fines have changed.
There was a mutual option this year that both sides picked up. The current CBA, started in 2017, expires at the end of this NBA year
(Edit: I was incorrect here, see below)
the new cba started July 1, that's when the league calendar flipped to 23-24.

Thanks! I don't have twitter so can't use your link, but I did another search and you are indeed correct. Thanks for the correction!
