Oh look, a league with the balls to penalize cheaters.

Good lord. Adam Silver off the top rope.

losing 5 first round picks is damn near the death penalty in the NBA.

didn't this also happen when he played for Toronto?

Getting Leonard and Paul cost the clippers 10 first round picks in total. They made one western conference final.

They seem to be handling it well

Don’t forget that they traded away SGA to get Paul George

Hell even the Clippers can’t even appeal it.

 

[POTUS]

This is why you punish people. It sets a precedent. Every other team is taking notice. FAFO.

Well don’t try to sneak money to your players under the table. It’s very simple. They made an example to everyone else what will happen if they do the same
