They’ve been operating as PR agents and mouthpieces for Ballmer and the Clippers.
remember when people made fun of Laker fans for saying that Ballmer was clearly paying for positive media coverage from ESPN and SI?

5 first round picks is a massive penalty

Didn't the NBA say they couldn't find evidence just a week or two ago?

Did something change?

Kawhi Leonard will have to pay $700,000 in restitution for improper benefits by the Clippers for his uncle and former business rep, Dennis Robertson. No contract void or suspension for Leonard.


Kawhi should be getting his contract voided w/a minimum 1 season ban on top of it.

Cuban owned up to it. Although he was an arse initially I think he slowly came to realization that there was a story here.

If ESPN cared about integrity they'd be firing Ramona today. That story she ran was clearly BS.

30mil isn’t shite for Ballmer but losing those picks should have the Clippers back to pre Elton Brand years. Love to see it.


If they lose their next 5 firsts, when do they pick again? 2031 thanks to having picks from the Raptors to forfeit?

Clarification - They lose their own picks in 2029 through 2033.

Does not affect Raptor picks received for Kawhi and is pushed back to account for picks already sent to OKC et all.
