500k fine for lying about how he injured himself? Unreal.

i dont know though. this kind of crap happened before, righ? when did the cut off anyones contract due to 'minor' violations. didnt Ben from the steelers do the same thing and how much did he get fined? I'm not defending radmanovic, clearly he did something wrong but a half million ??? How much did ben from the steelers get fined for riding the bike?
i just found out the same. but thats not the point if ben's contract had a clause or not. its just that i think that someone that vioates a contract the way radmanovic did, shall not be fined that much! But, thats just my first impresion. i'm not really familiar with the fines in cases like this, but again, it seems a lot to me.
ps one would really think they shallnot be rifing bikes either. interesting.
You don't seem to understand.... Lakers could've FIRED his ass and VOIDED the entire $40 MILLION contract!!!!!!!!
There are reasons why they have clauses in contracts, it's to prevent morons like him from doing something stupid and getting hurt. Now he'll miss the rest of the season while the Lakers in the middle of a playoff race. The least he could do is repay the money for all the games he's going to miss.
What Ben did doesn't matter, it's NOT in the contract! Plus he did it in the OFF SEASON and played almost the entire season.
Considering he's been a MAJOR dissapointment, Lakers should've VOIDED the contract and fired his ass.

whats he going to say i hate the lakers theyre buch of idiots hahahaha.uppy: he still needs to play for them. and it will hurt his reputation. dont believe that BS...
You are obviously missing the point. They fined him $500k instead of voiding $30 million. I think most would be appreciative.
The point is, he knew they had that option.
