Loss of draft picks is huge. Who would get the extra draft picks anyways?
I mean, if you think about it, all defenses are out there trying to punish the offense regularly. That's their job. There shouldn't be any additional motivation.
To answer your Kobe question, if the consequences only applied to the scrub player and not the entire organization, then it would definitely be worth it. I'm not sure how the NBA operates but the NFL goes after the organization.
