Once Magic Johnson joked about Paul George on Jimmy Kimmel, the question came up whether that constituted tampering.
Now that it appears Paul George is all but a lock to join the Lakers, the question is coming up again. It appears PG is dead set on joining them despite LA’s lackadaisical approach to the trade market for him.
So are the Lakers working in the shadows? Is there a conspiracy afoot? Is Adam Silver the man on the grassy knoll?
It is hard to say, but even if they were tampering, it doesn’t seem like they would get more than a fine from the NBA.
