Imagine being forced to sit out any trades/signings for a year?
And it's on brand too. Abuse the free agency system, be put in timeout. That'll scare the shit out of teams.
If they actually enforced this consistently the NBA would have to put an entire season of transactions on hold because every team would get busted. Really they need to go back to the spirit of the tampering rule and have a zero tolerance policy while the team is still playing during the season to prevent players from being distracted with contracts talks during the season. They just need to scrap the tampering rules once the season is over, they were silly anyway.
