On September 18, according to joint reports from multiple American media, many members of the Clippers (not specifically referring to players, mainly staff, etc.) are pushing the team to part ways with Kawhi Leonard. An anonymous staff member even said that working with Leonard was a nightmare and that if he could leave LAC, it would be a happy ending.

6 hours later, according to the report of US media APHoops, the Clippers reported that Kawhi Leonard was training at the Clippers' training base to prepare for the upcoming new season. [In other words, the little card is still in the Clippers]

According to the analysis of TA reporter John Hollinger, announcing that Leonard's contract is invalid is a very difficult problem for the NBA. The solution to both invalidating the contract and making the Clippers bear the salary cap penalty is difficult to become the final result.

Although many teams are happy to see the league impose such penalties on the Clippers, the specific operating procedures do not specify the terms, and the first chapter of the Labor and Capital Agreement does not even include the term "contract is invalid".

NBA reporter Baxter said that many league executives and managers of other professional sports leagues felt that Kawhi Leonard would complete the contract with the Clippers, and his contract expires after the end of the 26-27 season.

A former Clippers employee said that the team's focus had long shifted and the team was not building the team around Leonard, and the management understood this.

Leonard previously signed an early contract renewal with the Clippers was 149 million in three years. This contract has no player option, 50 million in the 25-26 season, and 50.3 million in the 26-27 season. Leonard only has two years of 100 million in the 22-27 season. After executing this contract, he may also fade out of the league. The 2016 Leonard contract incident is actually just the tip of the iceberg of off-court rumors. More details can be seen that he is a player who is eager for quick success and instant benefits. For example, Ka's uncle Dennis once asked the Lakers to give him some equity in the team, private jet rights, a house, and affordable off-court endorsement revenue. He also made these requests to teams such as Lakers, Raptors and others.

Lakers reporter commented: This is really crazy.
