Clippers Face Serious Charges, But Kawhi Leonard’s Contract May Stay Untouched—What’s Really at Stake?

Void Leonard’s contract, and the Clippers will have max cap space next summer. They could then chase a star through free agency or a trade, pivoting by the fall of 2026. That would be just fine with the Clippers.

Second, as John Hollinger notes at The Athletic, the NBA’s formal investigation is likely to conclude in the middle of the season. Void Leonard’s contract at that point and there would be a mad scramble from playoff teams willing to take on the risk of adding him short-term, but none of them would have any more than a veteran minimum or something close to it to offer. As Hollinger notes, Leonard fought to get home to Los Angeles in the first place, would he consider signing with the Lakers for the minimum (which, right now, they can’t even offer until mid-January due to being hard-capped at the first tax apron)?
