Clippers Front Office in Chaos | Los Angeles Clippers News

The LA Clippers are in chaos after a league crackdown that stripped them of five first-round picks, slapped a $30 million fine, and suspended owner Steve Ballmer for a year and GM Lawrence Frank for six months—all for violating the salary cap. With leadership in turmoil, Trent Redden and other execs are stepping up to fill the void, likely delaying the Kawhi Leonard trade to Toronto. That deal, once agreed upon for Ingram, Dick, and draft assets, stalled when Raptors feared penalties tied to Kawhi’s own $700K fine and his “Uncle Dennis” being banned from NBA business for five years. As the Clippers brace for the 2026-27 season, they’re facing an uphill rebuild both on and off the court. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
