re: Hmm did Balmer pay Kawhi under the table to get him to sign as a FA in 2019?

Maybe the NBA has already been punishing them now that I think about it, because that is all the Clippers do.
The Clippers are 27-12 vs the Lakers the last 10yrs

In their second run of superbowls, when Tom Brady’s shell company was being paid, he averaged 60% of the top QB cap hit and was right in the middle of QB salaries. His pay cut, about $10M, was the equivalent of a Pro Bowl defender for those years.

You are a special kind of stupid to hold up the Clippers success against the Lakers.
Lakers titles = 17
Clippers titles = 0
Lakers finals trips = 32
Clippers finals trips = 0
Overall record Lakers are 156 - 87 against the Clippers

You are saying the clippers are irrelevant in a thread you started about the Clippers Geniuses
Some acts are so egregious, it’s about the act not the perpetrator. This would be a huge story if it were the Kings.
Unless you are still a pre-teen, to argue against the fact that the Clippers have mostly been the definition of irrelevant during a majority of their time in the NBA is spitting in the face of history

I’ve only told the truth in this thread but you’ve already had others call you for lying but please continue to show your arse.
quote:
AAV, sure. He got $50M guaranteed as an old, OK but not great, QB. There were also $9M in incentives, so it was almost 2/60 if we're doing pure AAV
I’m willing to bet if we went through your posting history about Brady in 2020 and 2021 you were definitely not calling him “ok but not great”. Beyond that you know damn well that even at that point his contract value was far greater than his football skills just due to the additional revenue he created for them. Just in season ticket revenue alone they were in the ballpark of $10 million in more revenue.

You mean the 25 year old, best QB in the league got more AAV than Brady? Compare their total payments the next 2 years and tell me who got more.
Mahomes. As he should have. Brady’s contract for 2020 and 2021 should have had him somewhere around the 4th-5th highest paid QB when you account for his total value to a team.

You have a 5 page thread going about the Clippers on the soy board but claim they are irrelevant
you can try and make as many excuses as you need

I mean if you cant acknowledge that the clippers have 2 histories based on their owner then you are just the typical laker tard

You have disney ring and lots of missed playoffs

quote:the story is that the 28MM came from ballmer himself. he invested 50MM in the company, a company that he already had a 300MM title sponsor deal with, shortly before leonard and his team signed the endorsement deal with aspiration, a deal that requires him to do absolutely nothing for the money.
TL:dr $28 million to kawhi/his uncle for a no show job planting trees
aspiration was used (allegedly) by ballmer to launder money to leonard
BTW the entire 1hr plus segment is worth the watch. torre did his homework and the case is compelling on its merits

The deal was characterized as a "no-show job" on the Pablo Torre Finds Out podcast. Leonard did not appear in promotional material as other endorsers did, but sources tell BSJ that the marketing team and broader management team, excluding Cherny, saw no brand synergy with Leonard and chose not to use his services. They instead preferred to partner with climate-focused influencers. The $28 million deal was to be paid in quarterly installments over four years, but it was not the only compensation Leonard received. According to a high-level source, Leonard also cut a side deal with Aspiration to receive an additional $20 million in company stock. The stock was to be paid out from Sanberg’s personal holdings in the company over four years. That brought the total of promised compensation to Leonard to $48 million. Around the same time as the Leonard deal, Aspiration was going through its rounds of fundraising. They had raised approximately $600 million, including the previously mentioned $250 million from Oak Tree Capital Management. That number also included a $50 million investment from Ballmer. That investment has been characterized to Boston Sports Journal as having been made with light-to-no diligence.

If its true...the league has to hammer them. I'm sure this happens WAY more than people think, but now that it is out, this level of frickery...the league can't let it go unpunished.
Could be a brutal punishment
If it's true they will absolutely hammer the shite out of them as an example. He is one of the richest men on the planet, but the other 29 owners aren't hurting and don't want their golden goose fricked with or tarnished by this kind of stuff.

they all do it, or at least the ones who can afford to, do it.
unlikely to the tune of $50MM, but they do it.
nobody (and i mean nobody) wants the curtain pulled back

on the other hand, zach lowe and kirk goldsberry feel differently...that this is a very big deal, and other owners and excecs are pissed off.
LINK
good listen, first 40+ minutes is all about this. zach references the CBA salaray cap circumvention clauses and shows that the bar to assess penalties is very low. the language requires that outside compensation by third parties be held to a standard of reasonableness with regard to the amount paid compared to value received. leonard got 48MM to do absolutely nothing
