The NBA has dropped the hammer on the Los Angeles Clippers in the Kawhi Leonard circumvention case, handing the franchise a massive $30 million fine, taking away five first-round picks and suspending owner Steve Ballmer for one year.
Ben Maller of The Ben Maller Show breaks down the punishment and explains why, when you really look at the details, he doesn't believe this is the "death penalty" for the Clippers.
Ben also discusses why the NBA should be prepared for the potential backlash from Steve Ballmer, one of the richest owners in North American sports.
And what about Kawhi Leonard? Ben argues that Kawhi ultimately comes out of this situation relatively unscathed compared to the enormous consequences facing the Clippers.
Who really got hammered? Is this truly the death penalty for the Clippers? And what happens next between Steve Ballmer and the NBA?
Watch Ben's full breakdown and let us know what you think in the comments.
