Kawhi is too injury prone to do some endorsements 😂
Heads will roll
Adam sliver wont do a thing, hes such a coward
WOW, BAN THE CLIPPERS
clippers suck 111 get out of LA
I don't understand why you can't promise a player you'll pay him more later once they're able to like the Wolves did.
Ballmer simple MUST BE FORCED TO SELL. There is no penalty or fine you could levy that would deter a narcissistic sociopath like Ballmer with infinite resources. To protect the league you MUST force the sale of the Clippers. You cannot have billionaires running around breaking the League like they break everything else.
Busted!
Cuban came out and said it’s a scam. Not the scam that happened but calling out the scam is the scam. So it’s probably true as cubes is actually full of a word he likes to use a lot “complete bullshit”
I knew it as soon as he didn’t sign with the Lakers when AD was traded
Adam silver is soft he will take one second round pick and give them a hug
Balmer could have given it in cash
No paper trail
If he did the work would it have been legal? Seems like owners could circumvent salary cap all the time.
Bet they got James harden on the same setup
Steve Ballmer should address this on USA Facts
Paid for endorsements he didn’t make, to circumvent a salary cap for a team he rarely played for.
That’s the most Clipper thing I’ve heard all off-season.
If it was true PG would have done the same thing.
People cackling about Lakers, Lebron and Luka when all these Clippers on trial 😅
Uncle trev , i dont like that gour doing advertising for betting companies now mate. Thats wrong.
Stern was a more heavy-handed commissioner. Honestly, i don't expect anything to come of this. In fact, i think they will find a way to sweep this under the rug. There's already speculation that the nba is rigged with the flagg draft and luka trade. Honestly, this is why legalized betting is not good for sports. Too much money is involved, which leads to people doing shady stuff to get their hands on the pie. It was really good for the Lakers. Jeanne didn't want a part of that deal.
NBA teams want to win trophies,the Clippers main focus is to beat the Lakers which is sad AF
Glad Lakers didn't get this disaster player KL is a punk, no leadership, no commitment to winning, Kawhi Leonard is the NBA equivalent of MR. GLASS. He is the opposite of LBJ (who plays and is a great leader on and off the court).
All of that for what, going to Conference Finals nevermind winning it?
You know this is not going to have a happy ending.
Concerns on the ripple affect this has on other teams being investigated
So the Clippers cheated and they STILL couldn't win a chip? That's the most Clipper thing I've ever heard 😂
Ban Steve Balmer
Remove leonard from clippers
5 to 10 first round picks
100 million dollar fine
Move clippers to Seattle
The real question is: How does this affect Lakers and LeBron's legacy?
Take away all their picks for the next 5 years (not including the ones they traded) HAHAHA plus void kawhi?? HOLY SHIT!!! but
CBA outlines penalties for cap violation.. and max penalty is 1 pick for first violation. They will protect Ballmer because they like him. Silver won’t do ish…
This is a classic dot connecting conspiracy by Pablo Torre.
Complex financial webs are easy to misinterpret – Startups, investments, and celebrity endorsements often have millions of dollars flowing through multiple entities. It’s easy to draw lines between transactions and imply a nefarious plot, even when it’s just normal business activity.
Timberwolves got caught in the Joe Smith paypla scandal in 2000, and were penalized 5 first round draft picks and had their owner and GM suspended for a year by the NBA. Almost the same thing here.
Trevor, try harder to not show you're secretly laughing at the clippers! 😂
