Its definitely not blackmail but he probably wouldn’t have left a championship team if it weren’t for the 10’s of millions he made under the table.

He was asking the raptors for an ownership stake in the Toronto Maple Leafs which is pretty wild

Correction: SAS tries his best to portray Clippers and Balmer as victims

Thats not what blackmail means

They got those “Street lights over Spot lights” banners though…

Clippers could’ve just said no like every other team did

What if it was Ballmer that approached kawhi letting him know that the Clippers will throw in $7m a year in no show endorsements which led to his camp asking the Raps and Lakers for something similar? Just maybe it’s the dude that was caught doing the same thing years before. Fuck Ballmer too.

I just don’t understand how Kawhi is being painted as the main villain here when Balmer holds all the gold

There is something funny about SAS going after Kawvi in a few years just be cause he was cut from his uncle camp.

SAS used to be very on board with Kawhi’s camp back when he was with the Spurs.

unfortunately I don’t think SAS knows what blackmail is

Naw we’re not giving the clippers a pass on this, Kawhi asked for this arrangement from at least 3 teams. Two teams declined and reported it to the NBA, the clippers are the only ones that agreed to cheat. They made the decision as a team

Yeah poor billionaire, sooooo blackmailed. 

If you look at it a lot of things just does not make sense. All the picks and tree planting money for Kawhi? Did the Clippers thought he is MJ + Lebron?

That’s the funniest part to me.

You’re gonna do all of this for Kawhi of all people? The guy who misses 40% of his games as a matter of course? Just to make it to one Conference Finals in seven seasons?

Ballmer and the Clippers: “Kawhi so scary. Let’s do whatever he asks us.”

Ballmers no show sponsorship for sas cleared, i see…

This sub is in such an abusive relationship with Stephen A. They will shit on him in every post but still post his opinions every day.

Wow how did Kawhi successfully blackmail the billionaire owner that could have said no

The justification for not punishing them, the Clippers have already given up 5 first round picks!

Stephen A is the type of person to step on you when you are drowning

Ballmer mouthpiece. Ballmer has a history of cap circumvention, before he did it with Kawhi

what are we doing herer

Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the children billionaires!

“Steve Balmer is just a totally innocent billionaire who’s never done anything like this before in his entire career and Kawhi is mean scary man who forced this sweet perfect man to cheat the league” /s

You don’t trust anyone who’s always on management’s side.

But that’s how you end up being Stephen A, paid a ridiculous sum, while colleagues are laid off by the dozens.

It wasnt blackmail. Its what happens when desperation meets greed. Balmer has been a willing participant in all of this starting way back in 2017 when he started communicating with Kawhi representation while he was still a Spur eventually hiring Kawhi trainer. He definitely knew about Aspiration and definitely knew about this new one and made sure the funds where routed to Kawhi. Balmer is not a victim here. Hes a cheater who risked and gave up so much and got nothing out of it and now its all blowing up in his face and he acts like hes a victim. There’s only 1 of 2 explanations here either hes lying or hes completely inept.

Stephen A a huge bootlcker. Always has been

I love how it’s all Kawhi’s fault now when it took at least four parties here to agree to similar arrangements.

It’s like a guy falling off your roof and paralyzing himself trying to rob your house. His incompetence is punishment enough. You’re more sad than mad.

The Clippers might be cursed… Respectfully.

Poor Ballmer victim to the all powerful Kawhi. How much must he have paid SAS to suck his cock on live TV?

I really didn’t expect Kawhi to turn into a greedy piece of shit when he was on the spurs.

So according to SAS, all of the Clipper’s and Ballmer’s high paid attorneys were gullible hicks who were bamboozled by Kawhis representation. Am I getting this right?

Stop posting this garbage.

He pitted teams against each other, the clippers were willing to go the farthest and do so circumventing the cap, this is entirely on the clippers for agreeing to do so. Any spin to the contrary is bs

So much trouble could have been avoided if balmer simply gave pablo a handjob to end this whole charade

Won’t someone consider the poor, poor Mr. Ballmer who didn’t have the means or knowledge make a business deal

it’s interesting to refer to negotiating as “blackmail”

Get you a girl that noshes on bird like Stephen A

Wait are they trying to make the clippers the victims in this?

Stephen a scared of Kevin Durant

Kawhi deserves a year suspension. Doubt that silver will take any of this seriously though. Such a joke

Ballmer lawyers gonna be sending SA a letter in 3, 2, 1.

It must be that Toronto underworld, eh.

Yeah, They should unwind the PG trade completely.

Was Joe Smith suspended for circumventing the cap in Minnesota?

Love the kawhi hate. Always never liked the guy

The crazy thing is almost no one in here is bashing him for this.

STOP posting this fuckhead. He’s doing PR for Ballmer so he can distance himself from Kawhi and y’all are eating it up

Sga wouldn’t be who he is now on the clippers though

They should just ban Kawhi and Balmer so this shit doesn’t happen anymore. The fact that there isn’t a zero-tolerance policy for this just proves that the NBA is a joke.

I’m so glad that the raptors woke up and cancelled the trade. Man, he would’ve drained them too.

It’s on both Kawhi and Balmer. If we praise guys for taking less money, we have to condemn guys that circumvent the cap.

Kawhi, let’s hear your side, because clearly Ballmer and his boy are throwing you under the bus.

@Me7o fans anything to get paid tho amirite🤣

Anyone can ask for shady business dealings.

But the billionaire who entertained the offer and followed through should be the one in trouble

In a league that protects owners somehow this owner got blackmailed by a player.

We need this same energy for ballmer stevie

Screamin A does understand that Kawhi didn’t pay himself?! So when will he go in on Ballmer with the same energy?! 🤔

This moron just fellating his billionaire buddy Ballmer hoping for that sweet campaign money

Clippers coulda said no just like the lakers did. But they’re a poverty franchise that will never win a ring.

That is not blackmail but ok

To be fair for Kawhi, he went to the Raptors and brought Championship. I know Raps were already champ contender but still. It was also during his prime years. He can demand that.

The Thunder sends their condolences

The most useless Stephen Anita Smith I know of

I finally agree with Stephen A. Kawhi and Ballmer need to be banned for a long time. Should end Kawhi’s career. This was a pattern or behavior not a one time mistake.

SA makes my eyes perpetually roll, but he ain’t wrong here

This is the Stephen A Smith I miss

It’s too bad. He’s a tap dancing clown these days

Oh lord, he’s is on point btw
