Yesterday’s bombshell report about the LA Clippers allegedly skirting the NBA’s salary cap by paying Kawhi Leonard $28 million for a ‘no-show job’ seems to have sprayed mud in every which direction it could have.
The LA Clippers, coming off a well-rounded 50-win season, going to seven games against the Denver Nuggets in this year's playoffs, have had a lot of news surrounding the team lately.
Ben Simmons’ next move is already uncertain, and now so is his representation. Marc Stein of The Stein Line reports that agent Bernie Lee has formally removed himself from the NBPA’s ledger as Simmons’ agent.
The Clippers are scrambling to get in front of growing questions about Kawhi Leonard’s ties to a bankrupt tree-planting company backed by team owner Steve Ballmer.
Ben Simmons remains a free agent with the start of the 2025-26 NBA season less than two months away, and he may have to dramatically lower his expectations if he wants to change that.
One NBA scout thinks the Ben Simmons retirement rumors may be creeping up by design. “I don’t think there’s any real interest in him beyond teams putting out some feelers,” the scout told Hoops Wire.
Mark Cuban came to the defense of Steve Ballmer and the LA Clippers over the Kawhi Leonard controversy, only to receive an interesting response. After what has been, in all sincerity, a fairly tepid NBA offseason, one story has immediately brought the eyes of the world back to Adam Silver’s league.
The NBA is investigating the Los Angeles Clippers over a report that they circumvented the salary cap when they signed Kawhi Leonard, and no one is less surprised by the story than Gilbert Arenas.
Ben Simmons is only 29, but there is real doubt he will play another NBA game. According to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, Simmons has yet to sign anywhere and is “unsure if he wants to continue” his career.
The Los Angeles Clippers will enter the 2025-26 NBA season as a team to watch in the Western Conference after they made multiple additions to their roster this offseason.
