ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

[Mavsfan12]

The penalties are always insignificant even the rules allow for much heftier fines. 

While I think the tampering rules should just be abolished, if you want to make a punishment sting and be meaningful, transfer a future FRP or more from the tampering team to the team being tampered against.

I actually think that the penalty for tampering is that you simply can't sign the player.  Period.  The contract is voided.  That would end it on all sides.  There is precedent for this when the Twolves circumvented the salary rules with Joe Smith.  They lost multiple picks, but I think they also had the contract voided.  If the punishment was like this, it would change this issue. FAST.  

That said, I think that once a team has been eliminated for the season, teams should be able to contact FA's and agents.  There isn't a good reason to wait for 2 months to settle your future.
