Hopefully, Kyrie gets a chance to talk to Davis, while their both attending All-Star weekend.
does that count as tampering? serious question, like stars probably do talk about it off court, on the phone or at ASG, how does the league even enforce that?
Stars or players are allowed to talk amongst other players, and that wouldn't be considered tampering. It is when they directly voice their opinions or thoughts to the media, reporters, or any substance in which said information could be leaked voluntarily that could rupture or disturb any intentions in the locker room/organization. LeBron talking to Bosh or Wade in the off-season is another perfect example, along with LeBron calling Love in the off-season before he joined the Cavs, and then eventually Wolves traded Love to the Cavs.
(Concidentally, LeBron is at the helm for most of these problems.)
From the actual NBA website:
"The NBA's anti-tampering rule prohibits teams from interfering with other teams' contractual relationships with NBA players, including by publicly expressing interest in a player who is currently under contract with another team or informing the agent of another team's player of interest by one's own team in that player."
That specification clearly leaves a loophole for players to collaborate with other players, especially disregarding the eventual contractual obligations.
Even CJ McCollum posted an IG picture of Melo wearing a Blazers jersey 2 years ago, and I don't believe he got fined for it.
The rules and regulations are extremely weird, and bizarre, because so much of the rules have loopholes and 'suggestions,' that could allow any player to technically avoid tampering fines.
