I get it if Valanciunas chooses not to play like Ben Simmons but if he’s just an unhappy camper I don’t see what recourse Denver has.
Keith Smith wrote about this almost exactly a year ago with a different player (it is in the Spotrac archives). He also talks about it in the most recent NBA Front Office podcast. The answer is yes, the NBA can do it.
