"Hey man just bank all of your TPE while you're on your team and demand a trade to my team!"
Wack punishment for a dude who didn't know the rules and was probably also joking. I doubt this was a serious attempt at trying to get him back to Portland. Just warn him or stick with a fine (maybe lesser as 5M is a lot to some).
I wonder what team was so insecure about their own players wanting to play for them, that they pushed for tampering in the DSFL? What’s he gunna do? leave in FA? It’s the DSFL

But this is clearly not even close to that
no no I put that out as an example for why a tampering ban is there for DSFL

But why is the punishment for this the same as some pretty clear cut, multi-day conversations of tampering between players
