The NBA’s Adam Silver unhappy with Rockets, other teams that pay players to sit
NBA commissioner Adam Silver does not have a “ready fix” for pay-to-sit situations, such as the case with the Rockets and John Wall.CLEVELAND — Though NBA commissioner Adam Silver on Saturday did not contend or even suggest there was something untoward about the Rockets’ and guard John Wall’s decision to have him sit out this season, he clearly did not like it.
“Of course, I think it’s a problem when players are paid not to play,” Silver said. “In some cases, that’s by mutual agreement with the team. Maybe the team is in a rebuilding situation that is focused on certain players. There’s a sense that veteran player isn’t fitting in for whatever reason to the culture they’re trying to create.
Much more of his annual press conference on the league’s state focused on the exchange of former Rockets star James Harden for another player who was sitting out, former Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons. The circumstances were much different, with Simmons not paid and fined for time missed, making his absence far from a mutual decision. That also makes it difficult to legislate against.
“There is no on-going investigation right now,” Silver said. “This so-called issue of player empowerment is not a new issue. As I’ve said before, we of course want players to honor contracts.
