The Los Angeles Clippers have had issues of "dysfunction" within their franchise, according to a Tweet from Bill Simmons.

TMZ reported that the issues center around Gillian Zucker, the Clippers' president of business operations.

Zucker was the first major hire by Steve Ballmer and several players and key staffers believe she's infringing on Doc Rivers' area of the team and also creating a divide.

Zucker has become involved in areas like player development and playing time decisions.

"This is the first I've heard of this," said Zucker. "I think the lines between [basketball and business] are very clear."

Simmons also indicated that over 10 longtime employees were fired or quit because of Zucker, while she's also had issues with the Clippers' sponsors and the NBA itself.
