The Clippers usher in a new turning point! The league may not find any substantial evidence, and the final result is likely to be lightly punished

The Clippers have recently become the focus. In the show, the Clippers revealed that Leonard signed an endorsement contract, and the company received a $50 million sponsorship from Clippers boss Ballmer. In this way, when they are linked together, there may be behaviors of avoiding the NBA's salary cap, which immediately attracted attention. The league also acted quickly and began to investigate.

After the news came out, many people began to worry about the Clippers. After all, the league had a major penalty for the Yin-Yang contract. Joe Smith, who played for the Timberwolves, hoped that the team management would sign him at a much lower price than the market price, and hoped that after the Bird clause would take effect in the future, he could exceed the salary cap and renew his contract with him. The plan was very perfect, but unfortunately Joe Smith had problems with his agent and was eventually revealed. The league directly deprived the Timberwolves of the next five first-round draft picks. Boss Glen Taylor and general manager Kevin McHale were suspended for a while, and Smith himself also lost the big contract.

Facing with this situation, the Clippers did not seem to be worried. Boss Ballmer also expressed his willingness to accept any investigation in the interview, which was obviously very sure. The league has begun to investigate and hire a team of lawyers. It has previously investigated the off-site incidents between the former Clippers boss and the former Suns boss, and they both succeeded.

However, compared with their incidents, the Clippers are not very serious, and there is no substantial evidence now, and it may even be left alone. On the show, Zach Lowe revealed that the investigation of this incident may end in the "Gray Zone", and Leonard and the Clippers may face smaller penalties, such as confiscation of second-round draft picks and fines, rather than a Timberwolves-style heavy penalty.

In addition, there is another key point, that is, Clippers boss Ballmer, as the richest boss in the league, has some contact with other bosses in the league. I believe these bosses will not add to the point of being hurt, and may choose to turn a blind eye, after all, it is not a very serious matter. At the same time, it should be noted that the benefits the Clippers have not brought any results to Leonard, and they have only reached the Western Conference Finals once, which means that this matter is likely to be a lighter strike, and there is no such thing as other teams. After all, many teams will definitely have these in private.
