@DanClarkSports He saw the ball was going deep, he went to the wall while still allowing himself space to run jump and make the catch. If you are running fast straight line into the wall to make the catch you collide into the wall risking dropping the ball from impact or possibly an injury.
@NOLAJake No, a Billionaire owner shouldn’t be applauded for feeling like the rules don’t apply to them and that it’s ok to cheat. Do I like owners that spend big on rosters & staff, yes. Do I want them to also be passionate about winning, yes. With all of that I still want integrity, yes!
@TooNice1904@ShamsCharania Yeah the Clippers will dig their own grave if this goes to court. Getting employees to lie for you to the organization is one thing but trying to get that to happen in court is an entire different story. Plus the amount of evidence that a court case would open up in discovery!
@RohanNadkarni I think the Clippers got the standard punishment based on the Timberwolves one in the past. I think Kawhi is the one who got off easy for sure!
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.
