NBA fines Fred VanVleet $30,000 for disparaging comments
What’s the buzz on Twitter?
Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
Fred VanVleet’s fine of $30,000…
– is what he makes every 5-1/2 minutes of every Raptors game this season
– works out to $5,000 per bad word used
– Cost him less than what Dewayne Dedmon lost for knocking a massage gun onto the court.
It is our opinion that he got good value. – 9:54 PM

In light of Fred VanVleet calling out Ben Taylor, I was curious to see if there was anything similar to that w/Luka. The answer: Not really. Of his 15 technicals, no one has called more than 2 (Eric Lewis, Ashley Moyer-Gleich, & Rodney Mott, who ejected Luka at MIN on Dec 19) – 9:19 PM

Re Fred VanVleet: 35K is typically the top-end # when players are fined for criticizing refs. Folks I spoke with were not aware of a suspension for criticizing referees. That said, hard to find a player being both as specific & sweeping as FVV was in this case. – 12:54 PM

In case you were wondering, recent fines for publicly criticizing officials have ranged from $15-35K. Paul George was fined $35K in 2021 for comments that paled in comparison to VanVleet’s. Per the CBA, the max that the NBA can fine a player without going to arbitration is $50K. – 2:43 AM

Zubac dunk is late.
Score tied at 49 at halftime. Typical Raptors game: Shooting terrible (39.6%) but staying close due to 10-6 turnover advantage and 7-2 offensive rebound advantage.
