Raptors Fined Over Drake's Comments About Durant
Knew it was just a matter of time.
The Toronto Raptors have been fined a reported $25,000 by the NBA over Drake's comments about Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant at a Toronto concert last weekend. The team's global ambassador acknowledged the league's reigning MVP in the crowd and asked the five-time All-Star to consider Toronto as a free agent destination next summer.
"My brother Kevin Durant was kind enough to come to the show tonight and watch us," Drake said to his audience. "I just want him to see what would happen if he were to come play in Toronto."
The crowd responded to his remarks with a "KD" chant.
Durant, 25, is set to become a free agent following the 2014-15 NBA season.
According to ESPN's Marc Stein, the league viewed Drake's remarks as a violation of the league's anti-tampering rules.

Totally worth it though.
I think it just goes to show KD how serious he should be about considering Toronto as a potential future destination.I know this may be a bit controversial but I think the Raptors have proven that they're the best team in the NBA from Canada

Funny. The $25k is pocket change to both MLSE and Drake, and the news story on Drake's pitch gets repeated all over again with the news of the fine. The NBA played this just as they usually do (fining when there's even a sniff of tampering), and it played right into the Raptors' hands. More media exposure for this idea = a very good thing for the marketing/recruiting push, not even specifically for Durant.
