If they end up doing the Joe Smith punishment (highly unlikely)... Kawhi's contract would be voided and the Clippers would lose their next three available picks; which I believe are 2030, 2031, and 2032.
But this is a league that did very little about the Tim Donaghy scandal, which was (at least theoretically) much more impactful and damaging.
This is also the same league that just last season saw Dallas "trade" Luka to the Lakers, the Mavs then "win" the number one pick, and finished off by the Lakers selling for a record price.
We also know Michael Rubin was a Sixer minority owner for awhile.
