Yes, the penalty has been assessed in the past. But the case you cite is one of the penalty fitting the crime - you got a player you should not hve signed, we will now deny you players you should be able to sign. Taking draft picks for ref criticism would be completely unprecedented, and I think it would also be clear that the league was not trying to just punish, but to get rid of Cuban. Obviously, the billionaire baby can pay 1/2 mil fines for a long time before it causes him to change zip codes.
