If LeBron told Kevin Love to try and get himself traded to Cleveland then that is collusion and LeBron could be suspended from the league. Now do we really think that happened? No of course not.
Do we really think the league that has the worst drug testing policy of the 4 major sports would suspend its most marketable player when that league is incredibly star driven? No, of course not.
True but still.
