Danilo Gallinari Demands Kawhi Leonard Forfeit $50M Over Cap Circumvention
The former NBA forward argues Leonard's $700,000 fine was far too lenient, calling for the alleged extra-contract money to go to charity.
Danilo Gallinari has voiced strong frustration over the NBA's discipline of Kawhi Leonard following the league's investigation into the Los Angeles Clippers for alleged salary-cap circumvention.
According to reporting by BasketNews, Gallinari criticized the league's $700,000 fine against Leonard during an appearance on the A Cresta Alta podcast. Gallinari contended that the penalty was far too soft, arguing that any money Leonard reportedly secured outside of his player contract should be directed elsewhere.
"He should pay all of that $50 million," Gallinari said on the podcast, maintaining that the funds should be donated to charity. "He changed the trajectory of my career."
