Is the Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard punishment the NBA’s harshest ever?

The NBA has concluded a yearlong investigation into salary-cap circumvention involving Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers. Consequently, the league is stripping the Clippers of five first-round picks and imposing a $30 million fine on owner Steve Ballmer. While general managers Lawrence Frank and Gillian Zucker are involved, Kawhi Leonard avoided suspension and is cleared to return to Toronto. This decision has sparked significant debate among NBA fans regarding the severity of the punishment.
