What happened: Clippers co-owner Dennis Wong, Ballmer's other alternate, is also an Aspiration investor, according to [Pablo Torre](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1wdiy4k/pablo_torre_ps_to_process_the_kawhi_trade_the_nba/). Approval paperwork for the agreed trade remained unfiled Sept. 8.

Why it matters: The administrative delay follows the Clippers' cap-circumvention penalties, which already cost the franchise five first-round picks.

What to watch: Watch whether the NBA approves Wong or another temporary governor to represent the Clippers.
