A series of stricter tampering measures have been approved by the NBA Board to enforce compliance.

Based on the new rules, teams can be fined up to $10 million and lose draft picks, while executives can be suspended, and contracts can be voided.

Furthermore, teams must save communications with agents for one year, and random auditing of a team’s communication with agents and other teams can take place.

“The ultimate goal here is to ensure compliance and to ensure that there’s that appropriate tension that exists at the team. So there is sort of a significant threat that if a team doesn’t comply, that there will be consequences,” Commissioner Adam Silver said.
