NBA对洛杉矶快船队因薪金帽违规行为实施了严厉处罚。球队老板史蒂夫·鲍尔默被禁赛一年12，篮球运营总裁劳伦斯·弗兰克被禁赛六个月，商务运营总裁吉莉安·祖克被禁赛一年1。此外，快船队被罚款3000万美元，并被没收2029-2033年五个首轮选秀权12。
这些处罚与涉及球星凯瓦伊·伦纳德的可疑代言交易相关。NBA委托的律师事务所撰写的调查报告认定，鲍尔默之前关于这笔2800万美元交易的陈述是虚假的或不准确2。去年9月，鲍尔默在ESPN采访中坚称快船队未参与该交易2。
根据NBA联盟条例，联盟专员亚当·席尔瓦的薪金帽违规裁决为最终决定，快船队无法提交内部上诉1。快船队表示将"通过所有可用途径"对处罚进行"激烈反抗"，并"探索每一项法律救济措施"1。伦纳德的合同将不被撤销，相关交易预计继续进行1。
The NBA has handed down historic sanctions against the Los Angeles Clippers for salary cap violations, with team owner Steve Ballmer facing a one-year suspension 1. The league also stripped the franchise of five first-round draft picks spanning 2029 through 2033 and imposed a $30 million fine 1.
The penalties extend to team management, with Lawrence Frank, the president of basketball operations, suspended for six months and Gillian Zucker, president of business operations, banned for one year 1. An NBA-commissioned investigation by the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz determined that Ballmer's previous statements regarding a $28 million endorsement deal involving star player Kawhi Leonard were inaccurate and false 2. In September of last year, Ballmer had insisted in an ESPN interview that the Clippers had not participated in the transaction 2.
The Clippers have vowed to mount what they characterize as a vigorous resistance to the sanctions, stating they will pursue "all available avenues," including litigation, and explore "every legal remedy" 1. Under NBA bylaws, Commissioner Adam Silver's ruling on the salary cap violation is final, and the team cannot file an internal appeal 1. Leonard's contract remains intact, and related trades are expected to proceed 1.
