NBA Executive Shares Harsh Reality of Kawhi Leonard Choosing Clippers Over Lakers
Thursday, September 4, 2025
The LA Clippers and six-time NBA All-Star Kawhi Leonard have been making headlines recently, but not for the right reasons. The Clippers have been accused of trying to circumvent the salary cap by paying Leonard $28 million through a fraudulent company, Apsiration. The $28 million was guaranteed to Leonard as long as he played for the Clippers, as part of an endorsement deal, but Leonard never openly endorsed the company, getting paid millions of dollars to "no-show." Of course, this has been a huge deal around the NBA, and with the league investigating it, it is unclear what will happen with Steve Ballmer and the Clippers if they are found guilty of any wrongdoing.
Lakers should land $114 million former All-Star, All-Defensive guard via trade to support Luka
Wednesday, September 3, 2025
The Los Angeles Lakers' 5-time All-NBA First Team selection Luka Doncic aims to lead the storied franchise to NBA championship victory No. 18 in 2025-26, but a defensive upgrade may be needed to sufficiently boost the team's title odds. Los Angeles did add 2022 Defensive Player of the Year winner and ex-Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart into the fold this offseason to complement Doncic, but his best days might be behind him. In an effort to land a younger, more reliable defensive guard with a more polished all-around game, it's possible that the Lakers' general manager Rob Pelinka could contact the front office of the New Orleans Pelicans to negotiate an offense-for-defense swap headlined by Los Angeles' fringe All-Star Austin Reaves and New Orleans' 2022 All-Star selection and steals champion (2.0), Dejounte Murray.
