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.

Yeah this is also one of the bigger fines I’ve seen coming from the league to a player. Biggest I’ve seen is Stoudamire getting fined $250k after he got arrested for the third time for marijuana possession.
