Silver says NBA paying attention to tanking issue

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver recently addressed “possible solutions for tanking" while noting that he "understands why teams would do it when a 'once-in-a-generation player' is about to enter the league," according to sources. Silver called it a "serious issue" that has "sparked 'hundreds’ of meetings.” Silver said the league has “put teams on notice" and is "going to be paying particular attention to the issue this year.” Silver's comments came during a Q&A session with Suns employees in Footprint Center. Silver during the session also “apologized multiple times on behalf of the league office" for "workplace misconduct" under owner Robert Sarver (ESPN.com, 10/22)
