"Tell them to find me, too," Haliburton said.

The LA Clippers have been under fire after Pablo Torre's report about the franchise circumventing the salary cap. According to Torre's story last week, a former employee of the now-bankrupt company Aspiration said that Leonard signed a $28 million "no-show" job.

Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, who invested $50 million in Aspiration, has denied the allegations against the franchise.
