Sure...it's another deterrent. Officials, in game, sometimes will fall for an embellishment no matter how good they are. If there's another deterrent, including fines and possible suspension, it's just another thing in the mind of a player that may make them think twice about embellishing.

Doubt it...the league already reviews all tape and will upgrade regular fouls to FF1/FF2 or downgrade fouls as needed...or assess/rescind a T as needed. So this isn't a new thing for NBA officials.
