The NBA just dropped the hammer on the Clippers. Los Angeles loses FIVE first-round picks from 2029 through 2033 after the league found a "pattern of misconduct and multiple significant rules violations" involving salary-cap circumvention tied to Kawhi Leonard. Owner Steve Ballmer was also hit with a $30 million fine and a one-year suspension, while Leonard must pay $700,000 in restitution but avoids a game suspension. It's one of the most severe punishments the league has ever handed down.
