Just in: Three-time All-Star Ben Simmons has agreed on a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Sacramento Kings, his agents Max Wiepking, Sean Tribe and Ryan Arney tell me and @MarcJSpears. The one-time All-NBA star is back in the NBA for a 10th season after sitting out 2025-26.
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.
@gonhug0@vxersnkl@CelticsLead Of course. But even if he greatly improved his offense, would you take possessions away from the offensive staples? With this team, I’d rather see wing action, with Queta as a screener and roller. Anything he can create for himself is very much appreciated, but unnecessary imo
@HoopTalk69@Sleeper_Hoops@SleeperJazz@JazzLead I bet Utah is kicking themselves for missing out on four extra years of bordering on contendership. Imagine all those regular season wins
