Per NBA: The Clippers shall forfeit five first-round draft picks, one in each of the 2029, 2030, 2031, 2032, and 2033 NBA Drafts.
Clippers owner Steve Ballmer is suspended from all league and team activities for one year for knowingly seeking to help Mr. Leonard obtain off-court income opportunities, for approving a business deal that he knew was a precondition for Aspiration to enter into an endorsement agreement with Mr. Leonard, and for his failure to create conditions under which his organization abided by the NBA’s circumvention rules.
Clippers President of Business Operations Gillian Zucker is suspended without pay for one year for being primarily and directly culpable for the impermissible endorsement arrangements and for providing false and misleading statements to investigators.
Clippers President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank is suspended without pay for six months for his involvement with the impermissible endorsement arrangements and for approving impermissible expenses incurred by Mr. Leonard and his family.
The Clippers organization and personnel are subject to a compliance and monitoring program overseen by the league office for a period of five years.

look, Deshaun Watson is a terrible person, and he's actively antagonizing the loyal Browns fans still willing to pay money to see this team, and he's not a part of the future of the franchise, and he's untradeable.
But you've gotta admit: He's also absolutely awful at football
Jacob Buttar retweeted
Has spent the last 5 years either bad, pouting, injured, or suspended.
Openly engages and antagonizes the fan base, right after another poor showing.
Less than 48 hours later: “You’re our guy.”
Browns fans I don’t know how you do it.
Sources: The #Browns are naming Deshaun Watson as their starting QB for Week 1. The favorite going into camp. Now the starter, officially.
Jacob Buttar retweeted
Browns owner, March 2025:
“We took a big swing-and-miss with Deshaun. We thought we had the quarterback; we didn't.”
Browns, August 2026:
“Deshaun’s our quarteback!”

"I am shocked. I feel awful for the fans of the Cleveland Browns."

There’s not 32 quarterbacks in the NFL better than Deshaun Watson.
There’s like 70.

Deshaun Watson is getting booed after nearly every play in Cleveland. He’s probably going to be named the starter in a few days. Other than the Luka trade, I’ve never seen a franchise actively rebel against its own fanbase like this. Why isn’t this a bigger story?
Jacob Buttar retweeted
I don’t know how you can play, let alone start, Deshaun Watson after that press conference. What in the world.
Just cut him. Why even keep him on the roster when we hate him and he hates us
Deshaun Watson on fan reception today. He did not hold back:
“Last time I played on this field, I tore my Achilles. That same fan base, they cheered when I got hurt.”
“I feel like I get more love on road games than I do in home games.”
“It has nothing to do with performance. It’s a little more personal than that. It’s a disrespectful thing.”
