The NBA announced today that Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden has been fined $100,000 by the NBA for public comments on August 14 and 17 indicating that he would not perform the services called for under his player contract unless traded to another team. The league's investigation, which included an interview of Harden, confirmed that these comments referenced Harden's belief that the 76ers would not accommodate his request to be traded.

That makes sense. A quick internet search suggests that the $100K handed to Harden is indeed 100% of the max player fine per the CBA. Also, the current CBA, which expires this year I think, took effect July 1, 2017.

pretty sure we’re in the new CBA rules now. but i don’t think fines have changed.

There was a mutual option this year that both sides picked up. The current CBA, started in 2017, expires at the end of this NBA year

Thanks! I don't have twitter so can't use your link, but I did another search and you are indeed correct. Thanks for the correction!
