Daily News | NBA commissioner Adam Silver on possible Sixers’ tampering charges: “There is no ongoing investigation right now.”
CLEVELAND — NBA teams suspected the 76ers were tampering in their pursuit of James Harden before acquiring him from the Brooklyn Nets in a trade on Feb. 10.“There is no ongoing investigation, right now,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Saturday night.
NBA teams feared that Rubin was putting things in place for a forced summer S&T deal through back channels. Teams thought that’s why the Sixers appeared to be content with waiting until the offseason to deal disgruntled point guard Ben Simmons. “I think around the league this so-called notion of player empowerment is not a new issue … ,” Silver said. “As I said before, we want players and teams to honor contracts. So I think, in this case, you had two teams that ultimately seem satisfied by the outcome of the trade and willingly entered into it.”
“No team has logged a formal complaint with the league,” Silver said. “These are things we watch play out, unfortunately, in many cases, in the media.”With James Harden, Sixers owner Josh Harris takes another big swing after 10 years of misses | Marcus Hayes
