Pablo Torre: Kawhi Leonard signed secret endorsement deal funded by Steve Ballmer. UPDATE: Ballmer made donations to Aspiration before Feds came.

Keep in mind Cuban sold his majority stake after it came out he was throwing games to keep draft picks. We can’t prove throwing games forced him to sell, but I am not surprised he’s out here defending Ballmer.

Also Cuban’s argument completely ignores the fact Aspiration was essentially a scam company that was stealing investors money. If Ballmer saved them he would be getting indicted too.

Cuban is a fraud.

He tries to front like he's different but dude is just like any other billionaire.

I didn't realize folks was going to be so fired up about this. The owners trying to slide around cap rules is not some huge deal. They ALL give "investment tips" to star players. Some of y'all really think KD was that good of a tech investment strategist?

This ain't the Panama Papers. He's not dropping anything insane. When all of the paper work comes out this is just a bad investment they all lost money on.

Yes people will be upset. The whole point of the cap was to stop the richer owners from doing whatever.

Cause why the fukk not:childplease:

Pablo dropped this shyt at the perfect time. Football and basketball can’t distract people & people are tired of these fukking billionaires regardless.

I still think the league gonna just fine them draft picks and exceptions but that’s what they get for moving sloppy as fukk.

How many other so called "journalists" knew about this and ignored it to protect the Cappers?

The state of sports journalism is fukking pathetic, nothing but a bunch of lapdogs.

shout out to Pablo
Probably a lot, NBA, NFL and now WWE practically own ESPN and the rest are just happy with access. When you report like this, you need to be willing to sacrifice access and burn bridges with these companies, most are not willing to do that

Are you old enough to remember the Joe Smith scandal and the blow back from that to the T-Wolves?

Cause this is arguably worse
