The Clippers Are in Trouble… But Are Billionaires Actually Punishable?

The Clippers got hit with a massive punishment after an NBA investigation found that the team helped create off-court endorsement deals for Kawhi Leonard that violated league rules. Steve Ballmer was fined $30 million, the Clippers lost five first-round draft picks, Kawhi Leonard was fined $700,000, and Lawrence Frank was suspended.But here's the problem: Steve Ballmer is worth roughly $175 billion. So what does a $30 million fine actually mean to him? We break down the Clippers' bizarre salary-cap scandal, Uncle Dennis, the mysterious endorsement deals, and an NBA investigation that seems increasingly annoyed with the Clippers. Plus, we come up with much more appropriate punishments for Steve Ballmer—including dial-up internet, mandatory grocery-cart returns, and Microsoft Teams.And, of course, we have an update on Jacob Toby's extremely confusing return to the Spurs broadcast booth.#NBA #Clippers #KawhiLeonard #SteveBallmer #UncleDennis #NBANews #NBASalaryCap #Basketball #GoTeamScorePoints #Podcast #SportsPodcast #LosAngelesClippers
