Why the NBA Probably Won’t Punish the Clippers Over Kawhi Scandal | THE ODD COUPLE

Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington revisit the salary-cap scandal surrounding the Los Angeles Clippers and what it could mean for the franchise — and for Kawhi Leonard. Reports have detailed an NBA investigation into whether the Clippers improperly provided financial benefits tied to Kawhi’s free-agency signing — which, if proven, could qualify as salary cap circumvention under league rules. If the league determines violations occurred, potential penalties under the NBA Constitution and Collective Bargaining Agreement could include: • Multi-million dollar fines • Loss of future draft picks • Suspension of team personnel • Voiding Kawhi Leonard’s current contract • Prohibition from re-signing him There is historical precedent for harsh punishment. In 2000, the Minnesota Timberwolves were stripped of five first-round picks for circumventing the salary cap in the Joe Smith case — one of the most severe penalties in modern NBA history. Is this another franchise-altering scandal? Or will the investigation fall short of major punishment? ► SUBSCRIBE:    / @oddcouplefsr   ► Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... ► Twitter: https://x.com/OddCoupleFSR ► Instagram:   / oddcouplefsr   ► LISTEN LIVE: https://foxsportsradio.iheart.com/listen ► Facebook:   / oddcouplefsr
