The N.B.A.'s attempt to recoup nearly $1.4 million in restitution from the disgraced referee Tim Donaghy is "a transparent attempt at witness intimidation," his lawyer said Monday. In a court filing, the lawyer, John Lauro, accused the league of making the claim as retaliation for Donaghy's recent assertion that league officials manipulated the outcomes of games.

He's a crook, no doubt about it. But when the NBA's lawyers get finished with him, he won't have anything. Not a dime, nickel, or penny, not a job, not a friend, nothzing. The NBA doesn't like him because he ratted them out. Like the mob, if only they could...they would!

Donaghy is probably telling the truth. Proving it is a different matter

Well talk about "calling the kettle black", "he who lives in glass houses shouldn't throw stones", "you reap what you sow", and "once a turd always a turd"!!!

Dude is telling the truth. Why would he make this stuff up now? He's already going to jail for a long time - lying at this point will only add to his sentence.

The NBA turned their back on him, so now he's like "Eff it" There is a high possibility he's telling the truth, but proof is circumstantial so far.

No one knows for sure what proof he may or may not have. Anyone remember a guy named Brian McNamee??????????? Just because he's trying to get a lighter sentence, doesn't mean he' lying. Everyone here would do the same damn thing. Stern is just trying to get revenge.
