Pablo going for another Pulitzer

At this point Pablo is going to find photographic evidence of Kawhi receiving one of those giant checks with “Cap Circumvention” in the memo

At this rate, Pablo Torre will eventually prove Kawhi is behind ⁹⁄₁₁.

Dude now I legitimately think he wanted to go back to Toronto thinking he could get out of this 😂 like legitimate “going to another country to avoid extradition” type shit lmao

Pretty soon we’re going to find out Kawhi was never paid a cent of his actual contract and it was all funneled via a series of increasingly ludicrous shell companies and side deals 😭

Up next we’re going to find out Kawhi was skimming 0.001% off the top of every XBox marketplace transaction and that Balmer’s next extension offer was a cut of GTA6 Shark Card purchases

PABLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Mother fucker is gonna be retired by the time this investigation is concluded.

Videoboard man gets paid.

This is going to ruin the tour

Is there anyone he DIDN’T have a deal with?

Man Mark Cuban has been real quiet for a long minute now 😂

Always asking “how’s kawhi getting paid.” Never asking “how’s kawhi doing?”

At this point I’m not wondering if or how the Clippers were brazenly circumventing the cap rules to pay Kawhi but instead just how much extra money were they funneling him?

This is the third (“alleged”) under the table deal that we know of, would we be surprised if there were more or even more brazen ways to funnel him extra money like dropping off suitcases/paper bags of unmarked bills to relatives.

How much were they trying to pay the guy? Like $100M a year? Were they trying to hit a milestone like make him the highest paid athlete in the world or something? I guess to Ballmer it’s all pocket change but it’s still quite incredible how much they invested into the guy.

I swear Pablo doesn’t sleep

Pablo is a fucking boss. 

Silver is a piece of shit

Raptors had no chance to re sign this bastard. Fuck the clippers.

Seriously, how can anyone still keep defending what Ballmer and the Clippers did?

I love that real journalism is now treated like some weird gotcha writing. Pablo was and is a journalist. These stories are the stories we should see as much as we see the glamour side of athletes and teams. Sports has now become similar to politics. Not sure it’s good but I do like when journalists do real work

That’s another 8 months added to the investigation.

Imagine doing all this to get your star player some money under the table and he’s still on an official max contract anyways, so you don’t even get any competitive advantage for your trouble.

Silver can’t ignore all of this, theres too much for this to be a coincidence. He must be pissed at Ballmer. We are in for a dogfight trying to punish/remove Ballmer.

Pablo Torre biweekly 🧾 is brought to you by Pablo Torre

You have the President of the United States and his cronies skimming billions of dollars of taxpayer money right before our eyes and nothing is done about. You think anything is going to be done about this?

Fuck Silver

That ten game suspension gonna hit hard when this all done with.

Board man gets paid

The Pablo of Our Time, POOT!!!

They could’ve given Dak Prescott an endorsement and it would’ve made sense

Kawhi isn’t going to the Raptors, is he?

In 2010, the Australian Rugby League team the Melbourne Storm were found to have been circumventing the salary cap for five years in order to retain star players. Their punishment? All championships won in that time stripped, a fine that equated to ~¹⁄₃ of a season’s salary cap (which then got distributed to the other teams), they were sentenced to finish last in the 2010 season, and they were ordered to immediately cut players to get under the 2010 salary cap otherwise they’d have their licence to participate in the league revoked.

Apart from the Clippers having won nothing in the time Kawhi has been on the roster, I wonder what their punishment will look like.

Kawhi Leonard, big industrial level videoboard guy

Board man gets paid

Please extradite Torre to Canada. Thank You

I just hope the other 29 owners actually care and want a punishment for this.

punish clippers & suspend Kawhi for a year. He needs punished in this fiasco

At this point, caught blatantly lying all along, both Balmer and Kawhi need a minimum of a year ban. The cover up after being caught is worse than the crime.

This is all great so far, but I’m wondering if there is a paper trail since it was a publicly traded company. How many millions? Can it be found within their publicly disclosed documents, or in Information provided to their investors.

Clippers officials forgot that the first rule of cap circumvention is that you DON’T TALK ABOUT CAP CIRCUMVENTION

Did they actually plant the other 999 trees in Englewood? Some local reporter should follow up on that story.

bro

How long before ESPN has this up on the main or NBA page? Are we able to bet on that?

Did Kawhi really give Clippers a massive discount? He’s getting tons of these alleged money.

All I know is the money I signed a contract for was direct deposited every two weeks your honor. I play basketball, they pay me. 

I legit believe Pablo going to be taken out by Kawhi at this point.

Wtf were the Clippers thinking? Multiple shady deals with just one guy?

This is like old school college recruiting lol

Maybe Kawhi is like my dog. She could take her dinner in normal ways but it’s easier to get her to eat if I make it an interesting puzzle. Kawhi needed the fun in figuring out where his salary was coming from.

The greed is endless

But…but…but he just wanted to go home in 2019 😑

As a raptors fan, this was all really funny a month ago. Now.. it feels like a bad dream.

Kawhi should’ve just launched a crypto shitcoin for one of ballmers ratholes to buy $100M of it.

Dude is there a company this man DIDN’T have some kind of shady deal with? 😭

Another important point was the video board company struggling at the time, and once they signed kawhi as an “endorser”, the company turned things around. They went from 5 dollars a share to 20.

So has the NBA investigation uncovered all this? Why is it that an independent journalist keeps breaking news on this scandal. Kinda a joke at this point.

Fuck, man. At this rate, I’m gonna find out I gave Kawhi a no bid contract.

Feels like Pablo has the NBA over the barrel. “A resolution is close” here’s a Rhode Island soccer affordable housing scam. “Well they’re negotiating with Balmer for a punishment” here’s a B2B electronics scam. Just bullying Silver into doing his job.

As someone who grew up in the Brookings area (Daktronics’ headquarters) I don’t ever remember seeing Daktronics ever advertise.

Dragged poor Rhode Island FC thru the mud. I hope there’s an apology.

Uncle Dennis got way too much sway over this man

I’m going to spam email every company with “I am emailing you about the secret Kawhi deal” and see what sticks.

Pablo will unfortunately fall from his widow, rip Pablo

Yo I interned there in college

Poor Kawhi man. I’ve been exposed before so I can understand how he feels LOL

and no one will talk about it a week from now

I’m at the who gives a fuck stage

[deleted]

Pablo still angry that mark cuban made him look pretty silly in that one episode over this ish…he is not stopping until something sticks

Its sad really..if you have all this in your investigation then why are you slow dropping one by one instead of giving it all to your listeners and to the law firm investigating for NBA and get it done with..smh ☠️
