Lakers Players -- We Can’t Afford Technical Fouls ... They’re Reaallly Expensive

There's a reason the L.A. Lakers have committed a total of ZERO individual technical fouls this season -- THEY DON'T COME CHEAP ... so say some of the guys on the squad.

Jordan Hill and Jodie Meeks were leaving Boa Steakhouse Wednesday night (which also ain't exactly cheap) ... when they told us they're not exactly stoked about having to pay the 4-figure league fines that come with being T'd up.

For the record ...the league fines players $1,000 for their first two technical fouls, $1,500 each for the next two, and $2,000 for #s 5 and 6.
