At media day, Clippers begin with an apology, then look to the future

It's about moving on, or attempting to, after the franchise endured a nightmare offseason.

"My entire summer's been basketball," guard Darius Garland nonchalantly said during media day at Intuit Dome. "My main thing is to come in here and win games. So, that's my main focus."

The Clippers ' offseason was engulfed by the NBA's salary-cap circumvention investigation into the team's endorsement deals with Kawhi Leonard . The NBA fined the Clippers $30 million, stripped them of five first-round picks, dealt suspensions to owner Steve Ballmer and president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank — and the Clippers ultimately traded Leonard , who was fined merely $700,000, back to Toronto .
