It feels like peak gaslighting that a lot of people are now saying Kawhi deserves a more severe punishment than the Clippers organization

Theoretically a player can ask for the star and moon, they don’t lose anything by asking for as much as they can humanly get

Ultimately it’s on the organization to abide by the governing CBA rules

If the NBA sweeps this under the rug after almost a year of investigating with a fee and a second round pick loss, I’m going to start tearing the tag off of mattresses

How in 10 months has the league uncovered less than an independent podcaster has (while also covering other stories)?

Pablo fought valiantly but I am afraid the NBA is sweeping this under the rug for Ballmer. Sucks that that is the way it is.

(I hope im wrong of course)

Liars and deflectors HATE the fact that two things can be true

You can be deceived by the guy you trusted to help you deceive the NBA.

Getting scammed to have a built in excuse. Masterclass at work

No honor among thieves. 

Scammer gets scammed

I think the reason this is so big is because the NBA is going to have to set an example so it doesn’t happen again. 20 - 30 game suspension and a fine to the team is nothing in the long run, so people would be willing to run the risk

Silver is nothing but a school boy bitch

Adam silver is a fuckin joke of a commissioner. 

Punishment must be extremely severe. 3x FRPs at a minimum

You don’t know this for certain

the old saying is that you can’t con an honest man

Would this whole thing have been avoided if Kawhi Leonard just had to make a social media post about Aspiration every 12 months, therefore no longer making it a no show endorsement contract?

Silver will sweep it under the rug most likely 

We all know the Clippers are gonna get hit with a $10k fine and lose a 2nd round pick in 2032.

free ballmer

Honestly it doesn’t really matter. Suspend him 10 games and take away a 1st and 2nd and move on

I honestly feel like at this point Torre needs to move on. He made his point

I do recognize this is his claim to fame in a way. But it’s kinda over kill at this point

For people that are not completely stupid or unaware of how corporate law actually works, this is called plausible deniability.

This is this guy admitting defeat.

I’m curious if this guy is ready for the lawsuits once Ballmer is in the clear. He better have some strong backing behind this investigation or else he is fucked beyond belief.
