Just in: Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George has agreed on a five-year, $157.5 million rookie-scale contract extension with the franchise, sources tell me and @BannedMacMahon.
NEW: The DOJ could build a criminal conspiracy case against Steve Ballmer and the Clippers for securities fraud in the Kawhi Leonard scandal, former federal prosecutors tell @PabloTorre.
"Even in 2026, a creative theory could map out a road to jail time."
And that's before Trump gets involved.
Montrezl Harrell says he doesn’t rock with Paul George 😳
“I don’t make comments about that boy. Me and that boy don’t see eye-to-eye, and we ain’t on no terms, so I don’t make comments about him. Quite frankly, I don’t care. I stated that in the tribute interview I did as well, regarding how me and him got into it in that bubble situation. I feel like that had a strong trajectory on why the Clippers didn’t sign me back the following year, so I don’t make comments on him.”

@JG_GizmoJones The evidence is he was paid $60M+ for doing nothing from 4 different companies who all sponsored the Clippers. There is literally nothing more incriminating than that.
35 year old with 15 years of NBA experience receives upwards of 60 million US dollars for doing nothing and somehow runs a successful ignorance gimmick
The NBA didn’t have enough evidence to suspend Kawhi Leonard, per @ShamsCharania
“They had to have every form of evidence if they were going to go down the path of voiding Kawhi Leonard's contract or administering a suspension. And when you look at the report, you know, clearly the league didn't.”
