Description
The NBA handed down massive penalties to the LA Clippers following its investigation into salary-cap circumvention involving Kawhi Leonard, including the loss of five first-round draft picks, a $30 million fine and a one-year suspension for owner Steve Ballmer. CP The Fanchise and NBA Insider Michael Scotto debate whether the punishment fits the violations, what it means for the Clippers' future, and whether the ruling could change how NBA teams handle player endorsements.
Then, the Houston Rockets have made a major bet on their future by signing Amen Thompson to a five-year, $208 million extension. Is the 23-year-old already worth the investment? Can an elite defender and playmaker become an NBA superstar without a reliable three-point shot? And does the deal reveal how dramatically the meaning of a "$200 million contract" has changed in today's NBA? No Ceilings Podcast Tyler Metcalf joins CP The Fanchise to break it all down.
