So Was Steve Ballmer the Reason Kawhi Didn’t Stay in Toronto? | YMWSD4T Clips
On Episode 93, the crew led by Trivelle’s money brain breaks down just how financially secure Steve Ballmer really is, and how his gravitational pull and influence may have put him in position to pull off one of the wildest salary cap workarounds we’ve seen. The whole thing only came to light after the shell “tree planting” company Aspiration went belly up, exposing its connection to Kawhi (via KL2) as both celebrity endorser and manager for what was supposed to be a carbon offset initiative.
This raises a big question: are other teams doing similar things? (👀 looking at you, Lakers and LeBron’s one-year deals.)
Watch the clip and tell us what you think and don’t forget to catch the full Episode 93 on Monday.
