[Pablo Torre] Steve Balmer paid Kawhi Leonard under the table to avoid salary cap

Can someone tell me if Cuban said anything worth a dime?

 

Skip this one guys it was the worst one of the bunch. It's an hour and a half of Cuban talking over Pablo.

I didn't see this posted. I'm not a lawyer, but I would expect a civil suit to have more ability to get information from Aspiration than the NBA.

 

I said it way back when this first broke but if indeed Aspiration execs were funneling $$$ to Kawhi when they were knowingly circling the drain bankruptcy wise, to the detriment of other interested parties such as creditors, Kawhi may have more to worry about than just the NBA investigation

 

Then they should find out where to draw the line being a victim or a fellow collaborator......

And is Kawhi really the criminal or his Uncle Dennis who is behind all of his deals......

 

Kawhi is a full grown adult.

 

All I am saying is that we have not even scratched the surface of it all.

The sports gambling, the Mafia controlled poker games, ....

Wouldn't surprise me if guys like Lebron were on it, or league officials.....

Fact is that NBA 'star' players earn too much money and their brands obtain too much power.

It is never enough. They want to be billionaires and trillionaires. One step away from shady businesses.

 

this still a thing? i thought sliver swept it under the rug and brehs forgot about it.

 

New PTFO just aired - the tl;dl is something like:

New emails implying the Clippers were aware of the KL2-Aspiration deal of the 2 sides trying to get the clippers to provide marketing schwag (directly refuting Ballmer's claim they had no idea the deal existed)

Someting about how Ballmer's story about the timing of the Aspiration deal doesn't line up with his foundation's contribuitions to the Aspiration' founder's charity (didn't pay close attention to this part)

A Doc Rivers angle - Doc Rivers had some previouslly unknown investment in Aspiration

Finally, When Aspiration sponsored the Kawhi bobblehead night and had its logo on the bobblehead, unlike all other bobblehead nights, the Clippers media team mysteroiusly scrubbed all mention of Aspiration from the bobblehead night promo material and even photoshopped their logo out of the pictures of it - very bizarre because that is the whole point of doing team promo items, obviously

 

My wild guess is Silver decided this story is either going to sit tight until after the season or it's dead and gone forever. We'll see.

 

I have a hard time thinking Silver will give Pablo the chance of dropping something during the Finals.

I think Silver is being pressured to hold off until LAC wins enough to keep to OKC from benefiting from LAC's punishment.
