You asked for an example, I gave you one. We don’t know the full details of the Celtics situation so I would argue he’s been spared further embarrassment for now. Both Steve and Ime signed the contract and knew the rules. They deserve what they get. Again- you want the money, power, leadership, authority, etc… the rules are the rules. Not saying it has to be absolute but these are very high profile jobs that impact lots of people. This is basic stuff.
NBA is a 365 day news cycle and as their media partner everything is on the table because they pay them BILLIONS. It’s a dog eat dog world. You want millions and billions, here are the rules- don’t embarrass me or the organization. You talk about agenda- the Celtics and Media have one too. These people deserve what they get.
