Fines will be imposed for clear cases of flopping
The NBA announced to its teams this week at its annual pre-draft camp that fines will be imposed on players starting next season for clear cases of "flopping," ESPN.com has learned.
The league office has yet to determine exact fine amounts for offending flops and how fines might escalate for repeat offenders, but in-game arena observers and video reviewers will be instructed to report instances of theatrical flopping for potential punishment as part of postgame reports on officiating and other matters.

I just came to post this but Junkie is already on it...
One of the best moves that the NBA could of ever made...
Not sure how much this is going to stop the flopping but hopefully it cuts down on it some...
The next thing they need to do is go back to the no nonsense rule they kinda started last year where you complain it is a tech no matter what...

Varejao is going to have to move to a cheaper house. 
I like this. I wouldn't mind if they started giving guys technicals for flopping, too.
