Five minutes.
After all the ugly headlines from the Donald Sterling saga in April 2014 to Steve Ballmer’s $2 billion buy-in to all the calculated roster risks, the fate of the L.A. Clippers suddenly hinged on five take-your-breath-away minutes.
As the Clippers saw it, they were ready to prove themselves worthy of Kawhi Leonard’s trust, ready to make a move to honor his No. 1 priority: winning.
Trust has been central to Leonard his entire NBA career. His sour ending in San Antonio was the result of trust having eroded, and his sweet Toronto experience helped to rebuild his willingness to trust again.
Leonard showed with the Raptors that he could lead the way on a title team without a fellow top-10 player, but how wise would that approach be if the 28-year-old wanted to continue producing at an elite level for as long as possible?

Holy, what a read by Jovan Buha and Sam Amick with help from Shams. Details blow by blow of how the whole situation went down. A lot of nuggets and new details nobody knew. I can't post the whole article, but for those who have access, definitely worth your time.

Yeah Kawhi would never play with Mr iso ball,historic usage rate Harden. Clippers would risk losing Kawhi for Harden who choke in playoffs,cant defend...
PG shined as second star to a lesser player in Westbrook. Its bizarro world seeing Kawhi getting pissed at Harden dribbling 24 seconds.

I'm thinking that is may also be on NBA TV. If not, I'm sure there will be links at some point.
