The NBA entered the All-Star Break talking about the potential tampering between Philadelphia 76ers point guard, Ben Simmons, and Los Angeles Lakers president of basketball operations, Magic Johnson. Less than two seasons in and it appears as if the Toronto Raptors are the only team Magic has tampered with yet.
There was no act of moral turpitude, just questions about the two being able to speak about basketball. The league took note when 76ers general manager, Elton Brand appeared on local Philadelphia radio and insinuated he rejected a potential meeting between Simmons and Johnson.
