They fucked the Bucks really hardcore by threatening to void the Bogdanovic contract if the deal went through because they want Giannis to go to a big market team next year. Been watching and following the NBA my whole life but Im calling it quits because of this. Fuck the NBA.

That's not at all what happened, but okay. Bogdanovic didn't want to go to Milwaukee, so the deal fell through.

Hes a restricted free agent. In order to do a sign and trade hed have to have agreed to a contract. They couldnt start negotiating until like a half hour ago. The Bucks tried to play the system and got got. Deal with it.

Amick reported a couple hours ago that the league threatening to void the contract was the nail in the coffin that caused Bogdan to back out.

Because of tampering. Blame the Bucks for letting their cheating get leaked.

Every team tampers every year. Lakers tampered with AD. The way Woj worded his tweet about the deal being done is entirely the reason the league opened an investigation. Its not even clear there was any tampering. This is the league or Woj or NBA owners from other teams wanting Giannis to leave Milwaukee. At best its Woj saying to the league, Hey, you made a big declaration about cutting off tampering, so you gonna finally do something about it or no?

If nothing else Bogdans agent may have leaked it to try to get him a bigger contract. Its most likely not on the Bucks because they kept the Brogdon-to-Pacers deal secret just fine.

Yes but teams that arent smart about it and get caught have to deal with the punishment. Its not a turn the other way thing for the league. If they have proof it happened they have to do something. Also, AD wasnt a free agent.

He's going to the Lakers. AD already thinking about getting a lower salary so they can fit Giannis.

Sources close to Bogdanovic have insisted all along that there was never an agreement on Bogdanovics part, but there was clearly a communication breakdown somewhere. Bogdanovic, who has been in his native Serbia while all of this NBA drama surrounding him unfolded stateside, was caught off-guard by the news when it broke at 7:08 a.m. Serbian time.

No he didn't. He reported that Bogdan had concerns about the situation before it even came out that there would be an investigation, and that the prospect of it being voided - not an actual threat from the league - was what ultimately did it in. And sources say Bogdan never agreed to the deal in the first place:

https://theathletic.com/2211534/2020/11/20/giannis-antetokounmpo-bucks-bogdan-bogdanovic-investigation-free-agency/

As for the Milwaukee prospect, sources say Bogdanovic had a number of concerns about that situation even before word spread that there would be a league investigation into the matter. But as of now, its that unwelcome development that appears to have been the proverbial nail in the coffin on a deal: If youre a 28-year-old small forward with a robust free agency market, and you think theres even a remote chance that the NBA might void whatever sign-and-trade deal ultimately put you in a Bucks jersey, then theres just no way you take that risk.

Out of the loop here. Is tampering a bigger problem in the NBA than in the MLB or NFL?
