Quotes from Brian Windhorst, Tim MacMahon, Zach Lowe, Chris Mannix, and Jon Krawczynski describing how Clippers acted and lied personally to the media during the investigation. Krawczynski: It was a "behind the scenes, ferocious defense that was accusatory to anyone who dared question them."
Transcript of key quotes:
Windhorst: "I had friends [who worked for the Clippers] swear to me that this was bunk."
MacMahon: "I've talked to Clippers people too who lied to my face. I mean, I don't know what to tell you."
Lowe: "Kirk, I'm sure you can attest this too. They've been adamant that they did nothing wrong. I've had relationships sort of sour, if not splinter entirely, simply by asking questions. They were so offended that anyone would even impugn them with questions."
Mannix: "I'm looking forward to not hearing anything from some Clippers people that, you know. Yeah, there was a lot going on, Rachel. I think Jon Krawczynski had a good tweet about this during the day." He then finds, reads, and endorses the following quote:
Krawczynski via social media: "One thing about the saga stands out to me: the Clips, both publicly and also behind the scenes, launched a ferocious defense that was accusatory to anyone who dared question them. Today’s punishment is severe on its own, but also a very bad look for the spinsters in house."

Jack Armstrong has been with the Toronto Raptors for the longest of time, spanning 3 decades.
It would be a colossal mistake to not bring him back. He’s an integral part of the organization.
Do the right thing and bring him back. @Bell@Rogers@MLSEPR@Raptors@TSN_Sports@Sportsnet
BREAKING: The NBA has ruled on the Los Angeles Clippers in for salary cap circumvention investigations on Kawhi Leonard after yearlong probe -- stripping the franchise of 5 first-round picks, issuing a $30 million fine to owner Steve Ballmer and suspensions for Ballmer, Lawrence Frank and Gillian Zucker, sources tell ESPN.
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. And Robertson -- who was fired by Leonard in June -- is being banned by the NBA from all business dealings.
aaron donald coming out of retirement for 1 year, to play with myles garrett for 20 M’s is some high level having fun shit, good for him. this d-line is giving you legions of boom CTE, we are so back
Biggest issue: If you're being drafted, people are saying "we want you around for 4 years" & I can't imagine anybody wants Enes Kanter or Royce White around them for even 4 minutes.
We've seen this illustrated whenever Enes is near Turkey or Royce comes close to logic/reality.
two large strong equidistant point-source lights on 6-ft stands and an underchin white bounce card
Point sources (and not panels) b/c of the linear sharp underchin shadows. Any higher than 6 ft and they wouldn’t reflect. Equidistant because the shadows are symmetrical.
another championship.
I believe I can help make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship team and I am so excited to energize a new fan base and start this incredible journey one last time.
Thank you LA. Miami I’ll forever love and Northeast Ohio will always home!
