In 2019, fresh off their first-ever NBA championship, the Toronto Raptors made a strong effort to keep Kawhi Leonard in Canada's biggest city. Instead, he was poached by one of America's biggest markets, as the L.A. Clippers inked him to a life-changing contract. Days before this year's Canada Day celebrations, those same Clippers struck a trade with the Toronto Raptors, a move that would have sent Leonard back to Jurassic Park. That trade hasn't been completed thanks to a broad investigation involving the Clippers, and the rules they were allegedly bending to pay Kawhi. Last week, the NBA dropped the hammer - fining Clippers owner Steve Ballmer $30 million, suspending multiple front-office members on the team, and docking the team five 1st Round picks. Joining Bill Carroll for a broader explanation into the severity of these events is Anthony LeBlanc - a former NHL President, CEO, and co-owner of multiple franchises. He is also a current advisor to potential NHL expansion partners.
