Kawhi’s Clean Slate After Clippers Fallout | Vancouver News

The NBA just dropped a blockbuster penalty on the LA Clippers—five draft picks gone, a $30M fine, and suspensions for owner and execs—for repeated salary-cap violations. Kawhi Leonard avoided suspension but paid a $700K fine for off-court income mishaps, while his uncle Dennis Robertson got a five-year NBA ban. Kawhi took full responsibility for the team’s missteps, insisting he had no knowledge of any cap-busting intent. With this cleared up, the long-awaited trade to Toronto is now on track: Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two first-rounders, a 2027 pick swap, and two seconds head to LA. Kawhi, a two-time champ, will reunite with Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett in Toronto. The saga, sparked by an endorsement deal controversy, has finally reached its resolution—and the game can move forward.
