Clippers Trade Stalled by NBA Fallout | Los Angeles Clippers News

The NBA just dropped a blockbuster penalty on the Clippers—$30 million fine, five first-round picks gone, owner Steve Ballmer suspended for a year, and key execs Gillian Zucker and Lawrence Frank hit with hefty suspensions. Even Kawhi Leonard took a $700K hit. All stemming from a long-running investigation the team claims they’re innocent in—but frustration lingers, especially since Kawhi’s rumored return to Toronto via trade is still stuck in limbo. The deal, agreed upon back in June, can’t close until the Clippers sort out their front office chaos—and the Raptors are holding off until then. A messy, anticlimactic end to a potential reunion, with fallout still unfolding as the league’s hammer falls. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
