Wow it is pretty crazy to know that Jorge Gutierrez who was on a 10 day contract with the Brooklyn Nets was fined $15k for the flagrant foul on Tyler Zeller 2 nights ago. What makes it even crazier is Guiterrez was on a 10 day contract that would pay him $28,834. So that foul essentially cost him half his salary!

Before you cry boo hoo and claim that the NBA and Adam Silver are unfair; Gutierrez signed a 2 year deal with Nets, so he will be OK at the end of the day. However,  that is a still a pretty big payout.

If you want to see the foul that caused that big fine, check out the video below.
