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

No they are not equally blatant. The Kawhi thing has concrete facts. One may argue that this kind of things happens all the times. But what he and the Clippers did was pretty much out in the open now.

The lottery rigging has no concrete evidence other than an unlikely coincidence after the Luka trade. You cannot say something you have no concrete evidence as "blatant."

 

Yeah tbh that last part of that means it's no longer just a conspiracy theory type narrative. If the Raptors cosign that report and say it was requested then there's got to be some kind of something to happen to them. It's too much evidence to gloss over at that point.

 

no the only difference is that torre and others went and investigated the kawhi situation. Why isnt anyone putting in the effort to investigate the draft? Or when wembanyama conveniently went to his favorite team? Or any of the other crazy "coincidences"?

Anyone with more than a handful of braincells can see how obvious it is

 

Question: How do you know none was investigated?
Answer: You don't.

 

sure thing buddy. Keep telling yourself that
