Clippers Face Serious Charges, But Kawhi Leonard’s Contract May Stay Untouched—What’s Really at Stake?
In the wake of all the evidence in recent weeks, the topic has shifted in part to potential punishments, because it feels like some punishment is coming (once the league’s official investigation ends, which likely runs into the middle of the NBA season). The league can fine the Clippers and Ballmer, but only up to a maximum of $7.5 million — Ballmer earned more than that in interest during the time it took you to read this sentence. The league can suspend Ballmer and/or a Clippers executive for up to a year. The league can take away some of the Clippers’ future draft picks (the most painful punishment to the franchise).
