The allegations against the L.A. Clippers and Kawhi Leonard is the talk of the NBA world right now, with the Golden State Warriors certainly watching on given this is happening to one of their closest and most important rivals in the pacific division.
Yet there's also another reason why the Warriors will be monitoring the Leonard situation and the punishments handed down. There has been some chatter about the NBA taking the drastic step of voiding the forward's contract with the Clippers, essentially making him a free agent and open to exploring the market.
