Exactly. It’s so cartoonish that I thought it was a troll attempt

Pablo Torre is Adam Silver father

There’s always money in the scoreboard-maker!

Totally thought it was a jerk sub. Daktronics provides all the scoreboards for practically all stadiums. This might be huge.

I still won’t believe this post until OP adds a link lmao

The jerk sub is too brainrotted to think of actual satire that anyone can understand.

Maybe silver should do his job

an actual American investigative journalist making a name for theirself in this space is so refreshing for everyone not doing shady shit in the sports’ world

The most influential Filipino in the NBA.

Kawhi too. Did he back his car over Pablo’s dog at some point?

“If david stern was alive, Pablo would be dead”

WLRK has seemingly already uncovered this in their investigation. I feel like all these side deals are partially what’s delaying this process. They keep finding more stuff lol

My boy Pablo, please beware of any lex luthor looking mfs in the area

Maybe Silver should blame Ballmer, Kawhi, and the entire Clippers org instead. Take it out on them like a good commissioner would. 

Before anyone says “but he works for the owners tho”, how the fuck is letting the Clips get away with this good for the other 29 owners in the league? 

or maybe anyone else that’s actually circumventing the nba cap rules like Balmer or Kawhi? Pablo didnt do this. they fucked around and Pablo found out

Adam: investigation is ongoing, we hope to have a decision by 2030

Pablo’s a hound dude, so much props to him for not giving this up

The league’s law firm has been been investigating this other sponsorship, which is part of why the investigation has been taking so long.

Good scoop by Pablo to publicly reveal the name of the company, but the league was already all over this.

The cheaper owners definitely don’t want the league to be like soccer where it’s basically a money gets you anything type of league. The valuations of franchises are in part because you don’t need to incur massive losses every year to win a title. Yes Ballmer has money but ultimately he’s a largely failed ceo of Microsoft, there are 29 other owners in the league most of which have nowhere near his ability to throw around money

No big deal. That’s just where he sleeps

Is this completely separate from the Aspiration thing?

Were they paying this man like 100m a year? lol

In hindsight this only becomes funnier the more corruption that gets exposed, like the lengths they went through to get this guy and zero success was actually achieved.

Ballmer has more money than all the other owners combined. Money doesn’t matter at all.

Imagine doing all this fraud and literally having nothing to show for it. It’s like a kid cheating in monopoly and everyone looking the other way and still ending up last.

Legitimately more credible than the other stuff lol

Did Kawhi Leonard BUY STOCK in Daktronics before the deal was signed?!

IS THIS AN INSIDER TRADING STORY?!

Thank you Uncle Dennis 🫡

This is how I finally see a South Dakota company make the news??

41 appearances per year

The underboss of Rhode Island

I assume he’s paid taxes on all of this. Wonder if the IRS knows all of this

IF he paid the taxes on it. This whole situation makes me wonder if he’s dumb enough to not have.

“How many fucking side deals have we made with Kawhi?” - Michael Winger, Former Clippers GM

True definition of passive income

Can’t build the affordable houses in Rhode Island if the videoboard man isn’t getting paid

NOt a smoking gun though!!!!! We need a video of Kawhy admitting on camera what they did; maybe then we can accept that it could potentially have happened.

Honestly this is probably why there isn’t that much public backlash. Hardcore fans care but the masses are just like who gives a shit because the Clippers did jackshit while cheating lol

Not win any WCF games either lol

I wish we could reply with gifs, I wanted to send water found in ocean… can we change that mods?

This is the league that looked at a ref blatantly, provably cheating while having hundreds of one minute long phone calls with another active ref every day, and went “IT WAS JUST THE ONE GUY, NO ONE LOOK OVER HERE, HE WENT TO JAIL AND IT’S ALL FINE”

City is a big deal cause they are serial winners. Since the clippers didn’t win anything and Kawhi is constantly hurt, many people just don’t care as much.

Sir a second fake sponsorship has hit the Clippers.

We’re gonna need about 3 or 4 more smoking guns 

How does a podcaster uncover this when a multi-billion dollar organization is supposedly still investigating? This isn’t court, you don’t get one shot to prosecute and you gotta get your ducks in a row. Just announce that he is suspended.

We got a championship out of Kawhi. The Clippers didn’t. We are good. But I would take Kawhi back no matter haw many ways he managed to squeeze money out of Ballmer.

Hey I can excuse cheating and throwing games but I draw the line at loving Dundon

Agreed. The entitlement to operate like this is actually infuriating. These people live in a completely different reality and there are never any fucking consequences. I’m so tired of it

This isn’t even close to being something that is criminal on his end.

Now NBA wise…

No, if he wanted to “get out of it” he would just retire, this isn’t a federal investigation, it’s all within the NBA.

Maybe I’m a pessimist, but I think Kawhi will claim he had no idea how those millions got into his account  because it was all uncle Dennis, and the league will be eager to buy into that line to avoid punishing him. Then they’ll soft ball the punishment on the Clippers because they’re afraid Ballmer will be spiteful and litigious.

Everybody on the Clippers sub is clowning Kawhi. Lmao why are you just making things up?

Of course it’s a big deal, but we also just want it to end at some point. The nonstop talk of a punishment that ends up being delayed over and over again, is nothing short of frustrating. On top of that, it’s screwing over the Raptors and ours moves during the offseason.

No way they make an owner who just built a stadium out of pocket kick rocks.

No way. Just not happening.

The other owners will not kick Ballmer out of the league for this because they don’t want to set a precedent that could come back and bite them.

I would bet a lot of money that has been considered and calls have been made.

Greed, just guessing but most of it seems to stem from his uncle

If nobody from the clippers org has direct ties to the money its fine. If some LA company sincerely wanted the clippers to be good and was willing to pay crazy money to convince kawhi theres nothing stopping that
