Dahntay Jones' playoff fines nearly exceed salary

For a player who's totaled just 33 minutes of playing time over the course of these playoffs, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dahntay Jones sure finds himself getting T'd up a lot.

Signing for the veteran's minimum at the end of the regular season, Jones is making a measly $9,127 for the opportunity at winning another championship with the Cavaliers. And after being slapped with his third technical foul of the postseason Friday, he has nearly paid that entire sum to the league, accumulating $9,000 in fines ($3,000 each), according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

Thank goodness he plays for someone as kindhearted and wealthy as LeBron James, who offered to pay Jones' fines for the two technical calls he was hit with against the Toronto Raptors in Game 1 of the second round.

It remains to be seen whether The King will do so again, as he playfully warned Jones to be on his best behavior.

The 36-year-old wasn't even on the floor when he got reprimanded against the Golden State Warriors on Friday night for jawing at Kevin Durant from the bench.
