@owaddled Nope. He’s also trying to sell a podcast and then do journalism. So the 60+ min episodes is a bit dramatic. But I’m glad someone is doing some sports investigative reporting vs just shouting on tv
@owaddled I’m not fond of this article as the tell all. It had the image of Leonard as Groot, which was something. But Pablo’s series is much more detailed. There’s a reason this investigation is taking 11 months. But I understand that there’s more circumstantial evidence vs a smoking gun
@owaddled Alright. That’s not what I said. I said the CONTRACT was a 4 year deal. And payments STOPPED when the money was running out and the fraud case. We know the payments stopped cuz uncle Dennis was knocking on doors/emails looking for his clients money.
@owaddled@MikeVorkunov So the fact that the contract was a 4 year contract- that stipulated quarterly payouts- and those payouts started in 2022 but the money stops when the fraud/bankruptcy case rises. The contract also stipulates that Leonard MUST remain a Clipper to receive those payments.
@DL2onX@MCookMrF Since it wasn’t a federal criminal investigation, I guess we will never know. The Aspiration deal goes much deeper than the Lexus deal. If you haven’t listened to @PabloTorre pod on it- do it. If you haven’t listened and still think this- you didn’t actually listen
@MCookMrF Balmer was already caught once in a cap circumvention plot. Deandre Jordan and Lexus. Don’t pawn off this fraud on “morons” w money. This was a tactical move. Aspiration was a perfect cover. Environmentally friendly sponsor. It was a win win for Ballmer
@hoopshype It seems like the $100 million is too much of a constraint- considering some players are worth over 100million. What about changing the constraint to say you can’t spend more than the Warriors salary. Could be more fun to get two prime players.
A depressing flat performance that was a nightmare come to life. Freese not being good enough. Ream being a defensive liability. Pulisic being fragile… but the most disappointing part was how uninspired the US was
