## Resource

The NBA hammered the Los Angeles Clippers over salary-cap circumvention involving Kawhi Leonard — and the fallout could have major implications for the Miami Heat and the Eastern Conference. Wes Goldberg and David Ramil react to the Clippers forfeiting five first-round picks, receiving a $30 million fine and owner Steve Ballmer being suspended for one year. Did the NBA go too far, or was this exactly the punishment needed? Then, what does the Kawhi situation mean for Miami? With Leonard’s future connected to Toronto, Wes and David examine whether the Raptors could emerge as a legitimate threat to the Heat in the East. Finally, after Miami was previously linked to Kawhi, it’s time to ask: Are Heat fans relieved that Pat Riley and the front office never pulled the trigger on a Leonard trade?
