You get a flop warning, and you get a flop warning...

The league has issued a flurry of flop warnings with Timberwolves' Kevin Love and Corey Brewer, the Spurs' Patty Mills and the Bucks' Zaza Pachulia getting tagged.

Mills' flop occurred Nov. 1 against the Lakers. On the play, Mills slid under Jordan Hill to attempt to take a charge and fell backwards with limited contact.

Pachulia's flop occurred Nov. 1 against the Celtics. On the play, Pachulia took a small bump from Jared Sullinger and fell on his back. He got the call.

Love's flop happened against the Knicks on Sunday. He had the ball and took little contact from Tim Hardaway Jr. and fell to the ground.

Brewer's flop also happened against the Knicks with him taking a screen from Tyson Chandler and attemping to sell the contact with an exaggerated fall.

All four players will be assessed a $5,000 fine for their next offense. They join John Wall who was warned last week, the first player of the season to receive one.

MY NOTE: A $5000 fine to players who make millions? That's chump change. What a joke.

Bob,

I think a better way to handle the fines would be to make it a percentage of your income.
All players get 1 warning.
Afer that, the penalties are 1% of salary, then 2% of salary, then 3% etc.
After the warning, Patty Mills would receive a 1% fine or $11,000 and Kevin Love's would be $147,000 because he makes $14.7m.
I think that will wipe out flopping in a fair and "stern" way for all players.

TJ,

I agree! 100%.


How do we tell the league?

Good idea TJ.

Sam

No more warnings. They were warned last year. Start suspending them without pay.
