If the league confirms that the small card signs the Yin-Yang contract and punishes the Clippers for the first round, it will start with the Clippers having it.

TA reporter Pablo Torre broke the news on a podcast show that Clippers star Leonard is suspected of signing a Yin-Yang contract with Clippers boss Ballmer.

It is understood that the NBA has made heavy fines on the Yin-Yang contract between Joe Smith and the Timberwolves, including the confiscation of the Timberwolves' first-round picks for five consecutive years (two were eventually returned). If the league confirms that Leonard has signed a Yin-Yang contract, the Clippers are likely to face the penalty of confiscating their first-round picks. Since the Clippers' first round in recent years is not entirely controlled by themselves (the Thunder was given in 2026, the 76ers were given in 2028, and the 2027 and 2029 were the disadvantaged parties), according to the rules, the Clippers will start to calculate the number of penalties from 2030.
