Clippers are not going quietly it seems.

They are starting to get aggressive fighting this with some implications that they will try to take down other teams too

Balmer would do best to limp away:

There's about 10 other instances of Ballmer have personal knowledge and orchestrating a lot of the the Clippers top brass Zucker and Frank. Zucker did most of the emailing but it's not like she was a rouge employee. Ballmer told her to do this then lie by sending retroactive emails making it look like they were initial inquiries.


Ballmer needs to cut his losses now because if he waits and that Boingo Wireless deal gets exposed by either Pablo, the NBA, or Simone else (aka the Athletic) , that is almost assuredly going warrant another fine for him, Kawhi and everyone involved.

Which is essentially what Pablo himself has insinuated

Ballmer needs to be forced to sell the team

They should sell Intuit to the Lakers so they can stop playing in a shitehole

Clippers move to Vegas or San Diego

They would have been a lot smarter to have used phone calls to do this vs. text and email leaving a chain of evidence for investigators.

Shams still saying Kawhi had no knowledge of this, even though Kawhi literally signed the contracts, all because Kawhi's new agent told him to say that. ESPN's journalism cred hanging on by a thread.

There’s a decent chance Uncle Dennis recognized Kahwi’s autism early on and weaponized it against him. Similar to a Munchausen by proxy using the kid.

Saw Kawahi was guaranteed around $68M in no-show contracts, equity, stocks. One company folded. I’m guessing some future payments stopped once Pablo broke story.

Does anybody know estimate of how much he actually received?
