Summary
FOS editor-in-chief Dan Roberts joins Baker to discuss the breaking news from the NBA. The NBA released its findings in the Clippers–Kawhi Leonard case Wednesday afternoon, saying the team illegally circumvented the league’s salary cap by funneling millions of dollars to Leonard through third parties. Clippers owner Steve Ballmer has been banned from the league for a year, and the team has been stripped of five first-round picks and fined $30 million. The draft penalties begin in 2029.
