Rapaziada, preparei com carinho um material básico sobre o Raptors e a nossa offseason.
O conteúdo ficou extenso, então separei em 3 fios pra conseguir falar de forma mais ampla.
Vou deixar aqui o link para cada tópico. Espero que gostem 💜
BREAKING NEWS: NBA claims no evidence that the Clippers violated the salary cap for Kawhi Leonard, per @ShamsCharania & @ramonashelburne.
The Raptors will serve no penalties. 🚨
The Los Angeles Lakers are being sold to American businessman Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for a record breaking price over $12 billion, multiple sources told ESPN.
Kushner and Iger were involved in the expansion process in Las Vegas, but a stunning turn, they pivoted to make an aggressive offer to buy the Lakers from Mark Walter, who had purchased a controlling interest in the team from the Buss family last year.
Kawhi Leonard is working under the belief the NBA’s ongoing investigation will conclude before the start of training camp, sources say, and that the seven-time All-Star remains on course to join the Toronto Raptors.

Grange:
“Per league sources, there’s a belief the investigation has already moved beyond its fact-finding stage and the parties involved — specifically the Clippers and the NBPA (which is monitoring the situation to see what if any consequences befall Leonard) — are working quietly to get the entire issue resolved.”
“The most likely outcome?”
“A negotiated settlement where the NBA gets to enforce some version of its rules, Ballmer can save face and Leonard can play for the Raptors.”
The Clippers are now the favorites to be the team Kawhi Leonard opens up with at the start of next season, per Polymarket
The scoreboard scandal changed everything 👀
Kawhi Leonard is expected to join the Raptors in Quebec City for training camp, per @michaelgrange
“If the law firm investigating the Clippers on behalf of the NBA has definitive evidence that the Clippers and Leonard circumvented the salary cap, they likely would have provided their findings months ago.”
