    The Clippers should lose ALL the draft picks. The NBA kneecapped Minnesota for the Joe Smith thing - this is exponentially worse.

    I did not see they snuck BRoy in there. I probably would like 11 also.

    I went to the youtube video about the alleged Ballmer/Kawhi/tree-planting scandal. It was 85 minutes long and 10 minutes in there were no details or salient facts....I gave up.

    on the face of it, there sure appears to be some kind of violation(s). But I'll reserve judgement until there's an actual article I can read from a reputable source

    The rest of the owners should come down hard on this. If they allow this to stand, the uber wealthy ownership groups can always just outbid them. It makes the salary cap completely irrelevant.

    Losing picks that they have already traded though.... I think this deserves a very serious punishment. Could they kick out Balmer?

    I saw a 4 minute piece that actually shows the signed contract.
