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.

ESPN is so shady. They put out that report a few weeks ago that there was no wrongdoing found. Meanwhile, the NBA almost immediately refuted the report and here we are a few weeks later with this huge punishment. I wonder how much Ballmer paid them to make the Clippers look good so they could still make free agent signings without them realizing the shitstorm that was coming lol.
