On Wednesday, the NBA released its 36-page investigative report on the accusations that the L.A. Clippers executed a multi-year scheme to circumvent the salary cap to get Kawhi Leonard lots of endorsement money through team partners. The league also announced its penalties:

• Revocation of the Clippers' 2029-2033 first-round draft picks
• A $30 million fine
• A 1-year league ban for Steve Ballmer and Gillian Zucker
• A 6-month league ban for Lawrence Frank
• A 5-year league ban for Uncle Dennis
• A $700,000 bill for Kawhi to cover unpaid benefits such as game tickets and plane flights

Here are 17 notes on the apocalyptic end of this era of L.A. Clippers basketball.
