The NBA has fined the Los Angeles Clippers $250,000 after an investigation found the team had violated league rules while trying to re-sign DeAndre Jordan nba shop black friday last month.

The league said Tuesday that the Clippers had made a presentation to the then-free agent on July 2 that improperly included a potential third-party endorsement opportunity. League rules prohibit teams from arranging for others to provide compensation for a player unless it is included in a contract or is otherwise permitted by the collective bargaining agreement.

"We believed we were doing this the right way, and any circumvention was inadvertent," Clippers owner Steve Ballmer said in a letter obtained by the Orange County Register black friday nba shop. "In our effort to our players in every way possible, we as an organization must be diligent in complying with the CBA."

The NBA said the endorsement opportunity didn't impact Jordan's decision to re-sign with the Clippers.

A source told ESPN's Darren Rovell that the presentation the Clippers gave happened before Jordan even went to visit Dallas, so it didn't have an impact on his decision, and he didn't wind up doing the sponsorship deal.

Jordan eventually decided to stay with the Clippers after initially giving a verbal commitment to a deal with the Dallas Mavericks nba shop black Friday deals.

"As we, and the basketball world observed, DJ ultimately chose to stay with the Clippers because he felt it was his best opportunity to win a championship, and because of his desire to remain part of the Clippers family," Ballmer said.

The Charlotte Hornets are also cognizant of the anti-circumvention rule as team owner Michael Jordan nba shop black friday promo code cannot decide which NBA players get Jordan-brand shoe deals.

Golden State Warriors guard and NBA MVP Stephen Curry nba shop cyber monday is giving no indication that he'll leave the reigning world champs when his contract is up.

"As I am thinking right now, free agency isn't really appealing to me because I love where I'm at, love the organization I'm playing for and the Bay Area is home for me and my family," Curry told the Sporting News cyber monday nba shop while at a golf event sponsored by Degree Men.

Curry becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2017 but currently is just the team's fifth-highest paid player with a $11.37 million salary for the 2015-16 season. If he goes to free agency, Curry can earn a five-year max contract that could pay him in excess of $30 million per season.

Curry, however, cautioned against getting too focused on the long term.

"I think the best approach for me is to try and stay as in the moment as possible," the 27-year-old said.

Curry said he hopes to help Golden State continue its recent success long into the future.

"It helps being world champs, and you want to continue to build the momentum that we've established and I hope to have a huge part of that in the long term," Curry said nba shop cyber monday promo code.

The Warriors won the 2015 NBA championship with Curry scoring 28.3 points per game. He also set a playoff record with 98 made 3-pointers in one postseason.

nba shop thanksgiving day sale

Forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist nba shop thanksgiving day has agreed to a four-year, $52 million contract extension with the Hornets, according to multiple reports.

The 6-foot-7, 232-pound Kidd-Gilchrist is known primarily for his defense but increased his offensive output the past season. He averaged a career-high 10.9 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists, though he was limited by injury to 55 games. He shot 46.5 percent from the field, and his jump shot improved from previous seasons.

Kidd-Gilchrist, 21, was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft. He was taken one spot behind his former Kentucky teammate,Anthony Davis thanksgiving day nba shop .

Kidd-Gilchrist worked tirelessly with former NBA All-Star and former Hornets assistant coach Mark Price the past season to improve his jump shot, with some success. Price has since become the head coach of the Charlotte 49ers but has praised Kidd-Gilchrist for his willingness to change an awkward-looking shot with flawed fundamentals.

Kidd-Gilchrist has clearly become a favorite of Hornets coach Steve Clifford.

"He's totally changed his shooting mechanics, really more than any player I've ever seen," Clifford told The Associated Press in April. "It's increased his confidence level. His whole leadership nba shop thanksgiving day deals, assertiveness on the court and his understanding of the game has come out more for his teammates as he's gotten more confident."

The Hornets were 27-28 with Kidd-Gilchrist in the lineup and 6-21 without him the past season. He had 12 double-doubles the past season, compared to just one in 2013-14.

Yahoo Sports first reported the deal.
