Fun guy* smh get it right

Fungi? I thought he was supposed to be about planting trees

No he got fined a small amount of the mass amount of money he got against the rules. Think of the fine he had to pay, he suffered

Most people will never see $700k in their life. Let alone to have to pay it all at once.

My somewhat biased view on this is that he’s a working man who went to very rich companies and people and asked for money, and they gave it to him. And as a working man, he took the money from the rich to enrich himself. I mean, CEOs do this all time legally. This is fine.

Personally if anyone’s going to get away with minimal penalties for it I’d rather it be the player vs the owner who’s in charge of the operation from top to bottom. Sure Kawaii is weird shady dude but he doesn’t even compare to Ballmer.

Remember that it’s the owners who want an effective salary cap. The players want to make as much money as they can. They only agree to salary caps in exchange for stuff like minimum salaries and the revenue split ratio.

The investigation only reported from 2020 to 2022. There’s still years of dirt they could still punish the Clippers for.

Oh no the snipers got

except

Board Man invokes his Section 11© Charter rights

We have extradition

Lmao

I always did hear from Titans fans that Vrabel’s first season is his best one

So far that appears to be ringing true

Maybe maye needs an affair to play better - vrabel

Wrong.

He was leaking information to an outside party which affected his employee.

It wasn’t as bad as what Kawhi did, but it absolutely did have repercussions on the sport because of who he was cheating with.

(I’m also 100% sure you wouldn’t be here defending him if he was still with the Titans)

Dennis got his bag too lol. He’s good.

For now

The Raptors and Lakers both told Kawhi and Uncle Dennis to fuck off with their outrageous shady demands and reported it to the league. The Clippers are the ones that entertained that bullshit, and agreed to funnel millions of dollars to Leonard under the table. They have absolutely nobody to blame but themselves, and any talk of Kawhi “fucking them over” is horseshit. They tried to cheat and got caught.

Yea, at the end of the day, Ballmer was willing to fuck over the entire league to win a championship.

He never expected his franchise to face any consequences for circumventing the cap.

If Ballmer had just said no to Kawhi requests like the Raptors and Lakers did, the Clippers probably spend the past couple of years building around a future multi-time MVP in Shai, while also having control over their picks.

I think I probably agree with you. Ballmer is the one at the center of all of this and should be the most punished. My hat’s off to the player’s association for doing the smart thing and looking out for their interest. I was just assuming prior to the punishment being announced that Kawhi would be looking at a year long suspension as well, but credit to him and the player’s association for navigating the situation to the best of their abilities. Just feels kinda weird that Kawhi gets off with essentially no punishment. But handing down punishment is always a tricky thing to begin with, even without CBAs and million dollar lawyers being involved.

Agreed on talent always having a “get out of jail free” card. That’s life. But we are talking about two different levels of wrongdoing. The Browns taking in Deshaun after he obviously committed sexual abuse is horrendous and stupid which both align with the Browns’ mission statement. Kawhi just asked a bunch of wealthy people for more money. He never forced them to pay him that money or watch as he jerked off (as far as we know).

The sad truth

Yeah fuck the clippers fans right. Bonehead

It’s absolutely wild how he faced no consequences other than a $750k fine lol

This might come as a shock to Kawhi and his fanboys, but sometimes you say and do things because it’s the right thing to do, not because it benefits you.

He is a horrible leader lol

Uncle Dennis beside himself. Driving around Intuit Dome begging (thru texts) for more dip

The media’s job is literally to hold powerful people accountable by reporting what’s going on

I know right? I love his “apology”. “I’m sorry for lapses in judgement from my team” Like I had nothing to do with it, I just happened to see an extra 30 million in my account and didn’t bother asking where it came from.

Moreover, if you don’t want something to be mentioned, don’t talk about it.

That’s typically true but in this context he was definitely going to be asked about it.

The public in this case would include the media and fans who surely will not let him move on.

Good luck with that idiot and his insufferable uncle.
