    The Toronto Raptors finally processed their long-awaited Kawhi Leonard trade with the Los Angeles Clippers, and Bobby Webster wasted no time in ensuring that Leonard would be locked down for the immediate future. Leonard signed a two-year, $115 million extension with the Raptors that will keep in Toronto until his age-37 season in 2028-29. Leonard helped the Raptors out a bit with this deal, as he took $11 million less than the maximum he could have earned in order to give his new team a bit mor

By all measures, the Clippers were broadsided with some tremendously limiting penalties. Per Shams Charania, the Clippers will be stripped of five future first-round picks between the 2029 and 2033 seasons, and owner Steve Ballmer has been fined $30 million.
