About tampering...

[iamgine]

How does the NBA prevent tampering?

For example...lets say Kawhi goes to team X. Suddenly, Kawhi's sister is employed with the team and earn $3M a year as 'player's assistant'. His mom is employed as 'consultant' and paid $3M a year. Etc.

or

Duncan and Dirk took paycuts during their playing days. Now they're back with the team and is paid $15M a year as 'consultant' and 'brand ambassador'.

I'm not saying these happens. I'm just asking if a team really wants to do these...Is it preventable?

They exile guilty parties.

Everything starts with trust, if it is not written on the contract.

If you are not familiar with the owner/club, would you take a significant paycut (way below market value) just because the owner say so?

It may be fishy but not really tampering for me.

Dirk and Tim had a long time relationship with the owner/coach/club, it is totally different.
