Quel fromage!

Previously on WCD:

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.

    For possibly the first time in our century, the NBA believes in “no one is above the law.”
    Good.
    Billionaires need to follow some rules, too, if they want to play in sports world.
    Otherwise, why would we care about the games?
