NBA insider reveals what Kawhi Leonard allegedly knew about Clippers scheme

NBA insider reveals what Kawhi Leonard allegedly knew

Charania poses the question of why Leonard got off with such a minor punishment compared to the Clippers. 

"Basically, Dennis Robertson the uncle had all the power, all the say so, just like Adam Silver does with the NBA," Charania said. "Dennis Robertson, everyone around the NBA knows that he ran Kawhi Leonard, he ran his life. When you talk to people around the players' union, they're using this as a cautionary tale of what can happen when someone has this much power around you and you're the player."

These comments help establish the narrative that Leonard truly had no idea what was going on, whether that is true or not. The blame fully falls on "Uncle Dennis," who is now banned from the NBA for five years.

The punishments have been handed down, and it appears the NBA wants to move on from this situation as quickly as possible. Leonard will likely soon be chasing another title in Toronto, while the Clippers may be in limbo until they once again own a first-round pick.
