What happened: The 2019 deal sent Shai Gilgeous-Alexander away for Paul George and cost five first-round selections. League sanctions added five more forfeitures covering the 2029 through 2033 drafts.

Why it matters: The combined draft cost reshapes how the transaction will be judged years after its completion. The added forfeitures further limit the La Clippers' flexibility entering the 2026-27 season.

What to watch: Watch how the La Clippers manage their remaining draft capital and roster decisions ahead of the 2026-27 season.
