That's something that other team may think twice before following that same track just to keep their star player, though knowing that there are franchise owners who are willing to gamble just to keep their main star, but still that's something that will hurt the business financially and also the capabilities of your team as for now, still waiting for the findings and what might be the possible sanctions.

This is too bad for Clippers if proven guilty since they have the best chance to get better positioning to playoffs due to their current roster and with Kawhi playing more games.

Clippers owner is willing to risk it all just to push this roster in tact while they can.

Story like this should be backed by evidence before release to the public though because it can affect to the franchise during the investigation.

If they found out guilty for sure that this can affect their team so bad. Knowing Leonard is their main star and their rotation would provably got affected in this situation.

Now for sure many are curious to know the latest updates of their case since if it happens that Leonard and the team owner will get penalize in this situation for sure that lots of teams would think twice for doing the same action. Also if Leonard will get suspended I think it would be so hard for Clippers to advance on Playoffs or reach more deeper position. So lets see what will happen to those parties affected then see if they will be found guilty or not.

One factor that will hit them hard once the commission finds them guilty is this sanction, knowing the big part of Kawhi on their campaign especially if he's in good shape, sad to say that his suspension will surely affects them and the chance of reching the playoffs will be tough though there are still players that they've got who can step up while he's not present, we will see them this upcoming season if how they'll going to compete after this investigation got decided.

In all fairness, Kawhi isn't exactly known for playing entire seasons in the NBA as of late (last year was a bit of a fluke that he was available at the end of the season) so I wouldn't say that the Clippers are relying on him to make the playoffs. Something has to be done though. The NBA is going to need to find someone to blame and Kawhi or Steve Ballmer are the obvious suspects. Ballmer claims he was scammed, so if I were Kawhi I wouldn't be spending those paychecks at the moment. This may end up being the biggest fine the NBA has ever levied. We'll see...
