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

the KL2 is on Kawhi and that is his right, nothing wrong with that.
The only thing that would make it shady is if they can link that the Clippers gave the org money to give to Kawhi.
That is the violation, not how Kawhi gets the money.

cats trying to punish Kawhi?

Nah, that's on Ballmer for being dumb and sloppy to get caught.

Silver gonna have to punish him for just being that dumb. I'm sure he's not the only one, but you can't be sloppy like that.

Surprised this doesn't happen more often

He's not trying to he smarter than the Lawyers. What he is doing is putting information out there about how 1 team/possibly multiple teams are circumnavigating the rules when it comes to paying players. Even if it is "Legal" that loophole will be closed.

That guy thinks Jim Jones is The GOAT.

No Bullshyt

If just the name of an entity leads you to believe someone is involved in something, and publicly available paperwork proves the individual is directly involved with the entity, and the something is supposed to be secret because it’s against league rules, then it’s sloppy.

The documents are only available because the company went bankrupt. That is what caused this

And what would’ve made someone question Kawhi was involved in an entity called KL2?

That’s not sloppy?

It definitely happens. Just don't get caught.

Timberwolves definitely gonna be on some

Goofy Clippers don't even have the draft picks to give up in potential punishment the Thunder already got em

Clippers ain't gonna have a 1st rd pick until the year 2070

so goofy you just gotta

shyt getting exposed cause the company went bankrupt is comical and just Clipperlike. you gotta have ALL angles covered so that shyt never gets out.

Kawhi being involved means nothing he is a celeb just like all the other celebs paid by the org.

He didn't move sloppy or strange.

The only party that moved sloppy was balmer and the clippers. They needed more layers there and balmer shouldn't have had his name anywhere in that organization or advisory or friend of board members or management . That's all.

Stop trying to blame khawi or his uncle. Some of y'all have a strange mindset

This where I was going with this entire thing. It looks like a duck and quacks like a duck but I don’t think that’s enough to say they did this to circumvent the cap.

 

[pete clemenza]

Kicked SGA to the curb for the Kawhi nightmare experience. This sh*t will never f*cking end

 

[Lakerman0834]

Lol clippers don’t own anything as the thunder pillaged them for pg
