Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas weighed in on the controversy surrounding Kawhi Leonard and the LA Clippers, who reportedly paid Leonard $28 million for a "no-show job" as a way to circumvent the NBA salary cap. Arenas explained that while the NBA is investigating, no significant action will likely be taken. He highlighted that salary cap rules aim to maintain competitive balance, preventing wealthy owners from simply buying all-star players. However, owners often find loopholes to pay their prized athletes what they believe they’re worth. Arenas emphasized that since the commissioner answers to team owners, cracking down on one team could expose widespread circumvention among others. Ultimately, he believes the league will avoid penalizing the Clippers or Leonard because the financial interests of billionaires and team owners are deeply intertwined with how salaries are structured, making enforcement unlikely despite the scandal.
