Clippers Face Serious Charges, But Kawhi Leonard’s Contract May Stay Untouched—What’s Really at Stake?
One thing Hollinger suggests that is interesting: Silver putting the money from Leonard’s endorsement contract on the Clippers’ books, making them pay a luxury tax bill for it.
That is a long shot, but more likely than Silver voiding Leonard’s contract. The most likely scenario is the Clippers get fined, lose a first-round draft pick or two, and maybe a Clipper executive gets suspended (but not Ballmer before his new Intuit Dome hosts the All-Star Game in February). Maybe it’s more than that, but at this point it all comes down to the league’s investigation, which is ongoing and will be for a while.
