Bounty scandal 

If it's been done in the NFL, it's possible to do it in the NBA. A couple guys on an injury list isn't unusual, but half the team at one time a short time before the playoffs is a bit suspect, and their are people who would try to win at any cost to everybody else, and would go even further to try and cover it up.

Someone not getting caught in a bounty scandal doesn't mean there's not one. If enough people were part of one, they'd be hard to catch.

A bounty scandal that is covered u0 well enough wouldn't seem like a bounty scandal.
