Clippers Could Win Back Draft Picks | Los Angeles Clippers News

The Clippers just got slapped with brutal penalties—losing five first-round picks from 2029 to 2033—for their aggressive pursuit of Kawhi Leonard. But here’s the twist: history says they might get some of those picks back. Back in 2001, the Timberwolves lost picks too, but owner Glen Taylor took responsibility—and Commissioner Stern later returned one, then another the next year. For LA, it’s a long shot, but maybe admitting fault and rebuilding trust could earn them a reprieve. Owner Steve Ballmer, facing his own suspension, might be the key to turning this around. It’s risky, but smarter than digging in when the league’s already got you. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
