@BillSimmons Bill can finally stop being soft on Ballmer and the Clippers. A year of “ohh I don’t know who did what. Who knows” when it was very obvious what was going on. It’s safe, you can call them out now
Guess the NBA agreed with me LMFAO
We really had people defending Kawhi Leonard getting MILLIONS from companies the Clippers paid money to, for ZERO work in endorsement deals that were not even publicly announced.
@LegionHoops This ruling is amazing for the health of the league. It’s so obvious this is what was going on, I’m glad the NBA decided they saw enough for a punishment
Kawhi getting MILLIONS of dollars to do ZERO work for SECRET endorsement deals is outrageous. Justice served
BREAKING: The NBA has ruled on the Los Angeles Clippers in for salary cap circumvention investigations on Kawhi Leonard after yearlong probe -- stripping the franchise of 5 first-round picks, issuing a $30 million fine to owner Steve Ballmer and suspensions for Ballmer, Lawrence Frank and Gillian Zucker, sources tell ESPN.
Kawhi Leonard will have to pay $700,000 in restitution for improper benefits by the Clippers for his uncle and former business rep, Dennis Robertson. No contract void or suspension for Leonard. And Robertson -- who was fired by Leonard in June -- is being banned by the NBA from all business dealings.
@2181Embiid@_kayrayilmaz@will_nba_hater They can absolutely trade a first rounder before 2035. They can make draft night trades and more importantly, more first round picks will unlock as the years go on
@BronGotGame We didn’t have a real chance in 2024 due to coaching mismanagement / FO giving up on the Bron and AD duo, I don’t care as much about that loss. 2023 was tough tho, that was our last best shot
@DOC323123 I don’t think he has a chance at one until he wins a championship. Too much of the NBA world has decided his flaws are too hurtful/you can’t win with him/they just don’t like him. I don’t agree but the narrative is what it is
