The NBA Wrote Its Penalty Like a Closing Statement. Brooklyn Had Already Opened a File.
The league's September 2 sanction against the Clippers — $30m, five first-round picks, a year for Steve Ballmer — was built to be final and unappealable. The New York Times reported Thursday that federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York were looking at the same conduct before the NBA announced anything. That is the same office that charged 34 people in the NBA gambling cases last October.
