Bucks could put Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard cap circumvention in new light

The Milwaukee Bucks remain under NBA investigation regarding a four-year, $64 million guaranteed contract signed by Gary Trent Jr. this offseason. According to a report by Joe Vardon of The Athletic, the Bucks could face harsh penalties if league investigators determine they violated salary cap rules.

The situation follows a cap circumvention scandal involving the LA Clippers and Kawhi Leonard, who has since moved to Toronto. If Milwaukee is found guilty of similar circumvention infractions with Trent, the franchise's disciplinary punishment could potentially match or exceed the severity of penalties levied against the Clippers.
