We have seen 2nd round pick punishments that were no deterrent to the offending teams. We have seen the Bucks voluntarily pull out of their purchase of Bogdanovic.
I find a 1st round pick transfer punishment justified, but unlikely. It really doesn´t punish the player either, who also participated in the tampering.
A 2nd round pick and that Brunson can´t sign with the Knicks is something that I could possibly see as a sanction that would be massive for the Mavs. It leaves them with a S&T asset that could yield a major return. I think the Nets would trade Irving straight up for Brunson.
Punishments never included pick transfers. Bogdanovic intervention happened directly after they initially announced the deal. Not to mention that the league isn´t punishing big markets. Worst case is that they have to forfeit a 2nd round pick. Like the Heat and Bulls this year.
