. I dont think casual fans even care
probably but that shouldn't take away the severity of the issue

Cap circumvention should bring about the most punitive punishment possible

Seems like a big deal. If they were winning championships it certainly would be.


It's not that it's NOT a big deal, it should be, it's an unfair competitive advantage if everyone can only pay 10 mill per player, but you find a way to offer them 20 mill (numbers are just an example), I just personally feel that shite like that probably happens ALL the time and they were just excessively sloppy with covering it up

Force Ballmer to sell, or fack off Silver


They probably should. But he self funded his own arena and has otherwise been a great owner

Silver is in a tough spot and its gonna require all other owners to push him to come down hard

This happens all the time, the difference here is the Clippers and Kawhi were very sloppy and careless about it


Hell, then punish them for sucking at cheating. Thats life in general, right? We all speed on the freeway from time to time, but when you get busted, you deal with it. Why should the Clippers get special treatment?

I didn't say they shouldn't get punished. I said i don't care what they did.
It's against the rules. They were lazy and sloppy. Suffer the consequences. But I still don't care it happened, and it's not a big deal. Just punish them and get it over with so the trade can happen and both teams and players can move on.

I think part of the problem is Silver trying to find an acceptable punishment Balmer and Kawhi will accept without further litigation or involvement from the NBAPA.

Use the Joe Smith precedent from the Timberwolves circumvention case… invalidate Kawhi’s contract, fine the team, suspend the owner and GM for at least one season, and strip 3-5 firsts.

It couldn’t be a bigger deal and the league has already established that they can strong arm owners into selling.

Ballmer must sell the team. If not, the league admits it’s better to cheat by circumventing the salary cap than to take issue with your gf showing up to your games with her side pieces.
