The NBA announced to its teams this week at its annual pre-draft camp that fines will be imposed on players starting next season for clear cases of “flopping,” ESPN.com has learned.
good idea, but not sure if they can pull this off i’d like to see the details and enforcement procedures for this before i make my final conclusions but i’m not sure if fining players is the best way to go about this. how about a running total of flops and once you receive 5 flops you’re suspended for a game. that would actually deter players from doing it as opposed to teams simply paying for their players’ flopping fines. -bB
