I’m absolutely convinced that, even if everything is true, the NBA and the Player’s Association won’t do anything about it.

Guess what? I was wrong, WRONG, wrongity-wrong!

The NBA on Wednesday announced severe punishments for the LA Clippers — including the loss of five future first-round picks and a fine of $30 million — for violating salary cap circumvention rules when they signed star Kawhi Leonard in 2022.
In a statement, the NBA said a near-yearlong investigation “found a pattern of misconduct and multiple significant rules violations by the Clippers organization, a prior offender of the salary cap circumvention rules.”

There are some other penalties, too. The one that jumps out at me:

Owner Steve Ballmer is suspended from all league and team activities for one year.
