BREAKING: LAC Kawhi Leonard Found to Circumvent Cap

[SleepingHero]

This is crazy, and starting to feel mildly depressing to me. I'm not naive - at least I don't feel like I am - but this type of thing reveals a pit of cynicism that might eventually suck the fun out of the league for me. 

I really hope an example is made of LAC and Kawhi, even if it's only just to maintain the appearance of some type of fair, rule-based structure.

The thing is, I believe this entire situation is not common amongst other stars or teams. Hell, I don't think any competitive superstar ever had the thought cross their mind that they should feign an injury until their under-the-table cap circumvention check comes through. That's why they need to be punished accordingly. 

If we are going to take all of this circumstantial evidence at face value, then Kawhi should be banned from the league for life and his contract forfeited. The Clippers should be forced to keep Kawhi's deal on their books and lose what's left of their trade-able FRPs. 

This is worse than the Joe Smith debacle.
