So, what happens if the NBA decides that both the Clippers and Kawhi get punished for their role in the salary cap circumvention case?
Is there any chance the Raps just traded for a guy who may be suspended? They sent a lot away for a guy that might play 40 games due to either suspension or injury.
Kawhi can't be suspended for it under the rules. They can force Kawhi to pay back all money from Aspiration, they can void his contract, and they can fine him like 350k-500k or something like that.
Obviously they aren't voiding the contract or the league wouldn't let the trade go through.
Most of the punishments will be on the Clippers. Can lose an undetermined number of picks, everyone that knows can be suspended 1 year, and they can get fined (I think 7M max)
