The Bucks have every right to be asking the loudest questions after Milwaukee lost a second-round pick and incurred a fine after also losing out on Bogdan Bogdanovic before a similar investigation launched. Chicago and Miami landed their free-agent targets with minimal sanction.

The NBA announces slap-on-the-wrist penalties for Chicago and Miami in the sign-and-trades it had been investigating since August involving Lonzo Ball and Kyle Lowry. Both teams only lose one second-round pick each.

[Hollinger] How do you penalize teams that have already traded all their draft picks? Looks like Bulls second won't be lost til 2026; Miami's might not be til 2028.

[Bill Simmons] This is just hilariоus. What a tough break for these teams losing picks in the 50s - that will show ‘em!
