NBA proposes a new top fine of $10 million for teams conducting the tampering.
The league sent a memo to teams on Friday detailing the proposed fines.
Other proposals that the board of governors will consider:
- A requirement that a team report, within 24 hours, any instance of an agent or player representative asking for a benefit that is not allowed under the salary cap or collective bargaining agreement (“unauthorized benefits”)
- A requirement that teams preserve communications with players and their agents for one year
- New channels for teams and team employees to anonymously report rules violations or tampering
- Prohibiting players from inducing players under contract to request trades
- A proposal to conduct investigatory audits of five randomly selected teams each year to assess compliance with system rules
The NBA has proposed a tweak requiring teams to announce their starting lineups at least 30 minutes before tip-off, according to ESPN’s Zach Lowe.
The proposed tweak will need to be approved by the league’s board of governors.
