    I think @The Cat was at the event. I asked him if Clint showed and he said no.

    Berman posted a video to his Twitter when the mayor arrived and you could hear Luc tell him "Capela bailed."

    You can also hear Luc say something about "contract" when talking about Capela.

    Lol. I guess we know how Berman feels about Sheila Jackson Lee.

    Contract negotiations. Sounds like he had a meeting either with his agent or with a team that he couldn't miss. I wouldn't jump to conclusions saying he's in the wrong for not showing up. This is one of the biggest events in his life and will make him financially free forever if everything goes right.

    Big fan of Mayor Turner, but he talked over Luc's Capela scoop.

    Yeah he clearly said contract negotiations. i honestly can't understand what charitable events have to do with NBA contract negotiations, but that's definitely the excuse Luc gave to the mayor about Clint's absence.

    Not to read too much into this, but I wonder if he's following the advice of his agent or if he's personally butt hurt over the process. Either way...it's not good.

    Clint's agent is the same agent who got Gorgui Deng that atrocious contract. So maybe he's been filling Clint's head with nonsense.

    Very disappointing and proof that the negotiations are contentious. I wish I knew what we were offering.

    I wish the Rockets would've extended Capela last summer...jk, and easy to say this now of course, i just wonder how much money he would've been ok with at that point...

    Agent may have advised him to not participate for fear of an injury, but we all know he could have showed and just smiled for the cameras.

    Thats what the above was saying. We all don't know that. Don't just to a conclusion. He may have had a meeting. A meeting to discuss a contract in the amount that can set you financially free for a lifetime is priority over a charity soccer game.

    Pretty face, thin waist, nice hips and wears skirt suits? Yahh... she’d be my first call too. The prince got the good taste.

    Also there’s a lot of weird external signaling that goes on during RFA. Finding ways to manufacture leverage.

    Luc is also working a contract. More injury prone than Clint.

    Clint cares more about his well-being than some fans at a charity event
