To clarify: Heat not being investigated for "tampering" but for "gun jumping," over timing of Lowry move. Been told process almost assuredly will not "unwind" the acquisition, but could involve draft pick, fines, sanctions. Expectation of process, "a couple of weeks, at least."
I would imagine similar applies to the Pels/Bulls situation. This tweet only mentions the Heat, but it is a Heat beat writer so that may not mean much.

Part of this seems to be the league office saying,
"We know that you are all cheating, but don't make it so freaking obvious by announcing a deal at 5:01 PM."

Marc Stein with some more thoughts on the issue. He says a lot of this jumping the gun is because of pressure from agents. Hopefully they tackle the agent issue in the next CBA.
Stein also thinks nothing happens to us (or Toronto).

Agent impatience thus appears to have put the Bulls in a precarious position.
Numerous teams have complained that the rush they feel to engage in free-agent discussions before they are actually permissible stems from agent pressure, as well as the corresponding fears of being left out of the transaction fest if they don’t participate. That certainly does not absolve teams from participation — it’s way too convenient to pass off blame in that manner — but front offices tend to be the party with the most to lose, since typically only teams get sanctioned for tampering violations. The NBA has limited-to-no jurisdiction over agents, who are governed by the Players Association.
...What likely happens to the teams that helped Lowry (Toronto) and Ball (New Orleans) get to new destinations?
If the Bogdanovic case is a trusty guide … nothing.
Although the Kings presumably wish the reported Bogdanovic-to-Milwaukee deal had gone through, since they were expected to receive Donte DiVincenzo in that swap and wound up with nothing when they decided not to match Atlanta’s offer to Bogdanovic, they were not penalized by the league last year because discussing trades with other teams (even involving restricted free agents) is allowed.

in other words, you cannot tamper with your own player, which is what we have all been saying here since the news broke. the only possible wrong-doing is discussing a contract with temple (not our player), which...EVERY OTHER TEAM WAS DOING AT THE SAME TIME

Depends on whether they find anything about Pels discussing a contract with Temple or not.
