Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two unprotected first-round picks, a 2027 pick swap and two second-round picks to the Clippers for Leonard.<\/p>\n<p>The NBA opened an investigation in September following allegations first reported by journalist Pablo Torre that Leonard signed a US$28-million \u201cno-show\u201d endorsement take care of Aspiration, an environmental financial technology company, that required no work beyond remaining with the Clippers.<\/p>\n<p>Aspiration later entered bankruptcy after its co-founder, Joe Sanberg, was charged with fraud, though Leonard has not been charged with
