With enthusiasm, The Security Team  | | January 30, 2026 | Who will win the NBA's Western Conference? | | | THE BREAKDOWN | Clippers In Trouble On And Off The Court | | What Happened: You could forgive Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer if it came out he's searching the NBA's insanely complex salary cap rules for a refund of some sort. Despite spending more on player salaries than all but eight other teams (spending that we know about, that is,) the Clippers are slumming it in Play-In Tournament territory. They are closer to the bottom of the Western Conference standings than the top.
There might be a sliver of hope for the Clips, but what (or more specifically who) provides optimism for this team ultimately could be its downfall. | | Why You Care: There's been a lot going on with the Clippers over the last few months, and not much of it good. If you haven't checked out the excellent Pablo Torre Finds Out podcast, there are allegations that Ballmer was circumnavigating the NBA's salary cap in order to stuff more cash in star player Kawhi Leonard's pockets through a no-show sponsorship deal.
That alleged cheating didn't seem worth the squeeze though. The Clippers started the season 6-21, notching a paltry two wins in November, one of which took two overtimes to resolve.
And then, LA started winning. A December 20th victory over the rival Lakers kickstarted a 13-2 stretch that saw Leonard and Co. mercifully climb into a pre-playoffs spot. The issue, however, is the heavy load Leonard has been shouldering. With his notoriously rickety health always a concern, the conundrum for the Clippers is this: Leonard has proved he can will a team to an NBA title after Toronto's 2018-19 championship, but how much can head coach Tyronn Lue ride his superstar?
After such a putrid start to the season, the team is basically in must-win mode from now until April. During the winning stretch, Leonard led the way, putting up scoring totals of 55, 45, and 41…then promptly missed three games because of a knee issue. And that's the puzzle Lue has to solve in order to salvage this season - how much can he lean on Kawhi Leonard before he breaks again?
If Lue can find that balance, maybe the Clippers run down a playoff spot, or become the most dangerous entry in the Play-In Tournament. If he cannot, Steve Ballmer might start wondering why he even agreed to risk the wrath of Adam Silver with those alleged salary cap shenanigans. | | TODAY's LINEUP | Keep An Eye On... | | The Clippers' other star player and certified Old Dude, James Harden. Because Leonard's health woes could negatively affect The Beard as well.
Any time that Leonard is on the bench means more responsibility for Harden. For years, that was fine, as Harden was one of the best ball-centric, high-usage players in the league. But running his highest usage rate since the 2019 season at this age, and with all those miles on his odometer, runs the risk of burning out Harden. Which would leave the Clippers where, exactly? | Best case for Todd Monken and the Browns in 2026? | | | | |
