Clippers lose 5 first-round picks, fined $30-million, for paying Kawhi Leonard under the table, September 2, 2026

Wait 5 sec.

This news comes on a Wednesday (Steve Ballmer=44, Clippers=44, Wednesday=44).Today is 161 days after Steve Ballmer’s birthday (Los Angeles=161).Understanding this pattern of 161 and Los Angeles is why we took Garrett Cole for his 161st career win last night.*Cole became 8-7 on the 87th anniversary of the beginning of World War II.This Clippers supposedly paid Kawhi Leonard under the table. This is fitting, because today is the first of the last 121 days of the year (Kawhi Leonard=121).
