:bow:NBA Close To Establishing Policy On Flopping
- Thread starter Hersh

This is obviously not what the league is trying to end
Unless you let them use replay, that's just not feasible. The game moves too quickly and more likely than not they'd start handing out techs to guys who actually draw fouls through contact, not by flopping.
Fines are really the only course of action here. Suspensions just seems too heavy of a penalty for an infraction that doesn't hurt anyone or technically break the rules. I'd go with a 10,000 fine for first offense, and 25K for repeaters.
It honestly doesnt mean shyt, theyre gonna be just as biased in the review as they are on the court. Im sure theyll give ginoboli and lebron a couple fines early on once or twice, you know to "show they mean business" then Bron will flop the whole postseason and not get one fine.
Flops will not have an in-game penalty, but will be reviewed after the face with a possible fine.

flops probably happen on less than 1% of possessions in the NBA

Game moves quick but me and you both know a flop in real time when we see it...look at them gifs man...you see Chris Paul doing a texas tornado twist after getting hit on the wrist i think we know what that is right....Alot of these flops are just so obvious and i dont think fines will change anything...
At some of these double flops.If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying
Didnt know Chris Paul flops that much 
Those gifs are replays, plus we have the best angle to see the flop. You really can't confirm most flops until you see the replay.

at advocating fining players for something that isn't against the rules. Unless they somehow make acting or accentuating contact against the rules, then punishing players for flopping simply won't fly. It's almost as if you people don't understand that fouls are subjective and socalled flopping goes way beyond the few obvious/blatant examples that whiners like to point to. "Oh you acted like you got fouled on that play when you didnt, $10,000 fine". What's next, fining guys for traveling when the refs miss it? "oh you knew you walked and you kept playing anyway, $10,000 for fooling the refs". At least traveling is against the rules. This is why they've been talking about it for 5-6 years without actually doing anything. The league would love to find a way to take money back from the players but this makes no sense and anybody that's actually for this is wrong. If the league is going to go back and review flops and fine players, then why can't they review all calls that the refs do and don't make, and fine them for their constant mistakes? Why do you all want to put all if this on the players?
