All teams in all leagues except apparently the Cowboys (lol) have extra deals with players whether in writing or understood agreements under the table. The NBA's unique, a single player can generate multiples yearly of whatever they signed for off merch & tickets, only ones who thought players only see that number for the year on Spotrac are the nerds already on Spotrac. LeBron's added hundreds of millions annually to every team he's ever played for, you think he's only seen 50 million of it a year?

Toronto was looking for sponsors to keep Kawhi, there's details in a book that the Nets were buying townhouses for the players IG smuts in the KD era. People thought Dennis was crazy when that list of demands to the Lakers leaked out.....no, you were just getting a peak behind the curtain and didn't understand what you were seeing. Lakers leaked that because they wanted to get ahead of ending talks because the nikka wanted a jet and ownership stake.

It's common, what isn't is getting caught. Luckily for them they have the softest commissioner in sports, a couple picks and a fine. But Ballmer's already said fukk picks and he's the richest owner in the sport, I'm not sure there's much else you can do.

:damn:They better stop this nikka Pablo before he fukk around and uncover Bron’s dirt
My guess is he knows what to touch and what not to. Most want the access of the teams & leagues while he wants to be detective. Because of that he stands out in a sea of people carrying water and keeping the status quo

Not discrediting anything he's outed because nobody else is saying shyt. But if he really wanted fame, he'd use whatever connections he's got and go back to 2010/2011 and Biogenesis. Or better yet, out the businesses that've replaced Biogenesis since. That scandal involved 3 HOF players in 3 different sports and a lot of other lesser athletes. Nobody answered anything

If somebody tried to out Lebron, that's when the everybody talking shyt on Silver is getting leaned back. He's going scorched earth because he'd have to. We're talking 22 years of history and billions made off Bron vs MJ, Kobe, Steph, Celtics, Popovich etc. The all time points leader is a cheater. Yeah Roger off American Dad is showing you nikkas a thing or two

Kawhi is not the villain of this story. It's Ballmer (and Aspiration).
He's not the villain but he's one too

For all the headache and picks traded to get him, he's done all of jack shyt to repay any of it. Now they'll lose even more while he and that team gets older. He's getting blowback there's no way around it

Plus, sports fans love faces to point anger at. Look how often players get blamed for not working out somewhere and not the team/staff. Cowboys fans were talking shyt on Parsons and Jerry was pulling wild shyt and trying to hoe him into an extra year on top. Same shyt, players are the face of the team and Kawhi's the face of that team even more than Steve

Like Dirk taking a discount but then Cuban's HDNet channel overpaying for his documentary

Michael Irvin mentioned Cuban's network briefly yesterday on ISWIS . Had a deal but an agent he had allegedly messed up the negotiations and it fell through. Could've made him a lot of money to this day. Says Cuban still :ufdup: whenever he sees Mike .
