Lakers VS Slippers Discussion

That’s kind of a really big assumption considering his statements.

 

The sentiment around Pablo Torre is turning against him. He seems to be more interested in the limelight he gets from this than anything else.

As an example above, the employees of Aspiration never said it was to circumvent the cap, they said they thought it was a bad deal - there’s a big difference when you’re trying to be a precise journalist.

 

I'm talking about Silver's statements he formally made with reference to he would be reluctant to act on the "mere appearance" of impropriety but also addressed the seriousness of the issue if evidence was found, or preponderance of circumstantial evidence, describing how much more latitude he had than criminal and even civil trial courts have in making his decisions. And that was why he was launching a thorough investigation with the same high power firm of lawyers that have done it for him twice before, with the Clippers and Sterling and with the Suns. So he's just jerking *** everyone affiliated with the NBA including all the other owners and fans of the league .... over the super serious issue of cap circumvention with surely multi-millions of billable lawyer dollars with this investigation? No I don't agree with your assumption he's going to do nothing because "he doesn't care" even if everything circumstantial points to it, though no smoking (paper trail) (if that's even true) "which is wild".

Of course he does. No one thinks he's going to try to kick him out of the league, OR if Balmer and / or the team are penalized in some way, that Balz will take his team and the Intuit Dome and go home.

 

Weird. I came to the opposite conclusion. There may be people covering for friends and attempting to tarnish Pablo’s reputation. I’ve seen nothing posted in this thread to legitimately discredit his reporting.

 

Isn’t it about time for Pablo to drop another damning tweet? Or, has the chamber been completely emptied?
Maybe he’s waiting for opening night?

 

I’m with you. A 2000 word piece dropping zero new information on espn made to appear exonerative…it’s kind of making his point for him.

“the league knew the clips were in business with aspiration”


So….that means kawhi’s deal was on the up and up? How? How stupid do you think I am?

 

Silver has been covering up for the Clips since 2019, the Clips had someone in every Raptor game the season before, tampering at every chance they got. Nothing happened to that and nothing will happen to this.

"i was conned" is still the most ridiculous defense. as twain said, it's easier to fool someone than to convince someone they've been fooled.

it's not just unbelievable because ballmer is obviously a shrewd businessman; it's unbelievable because if he was really conned, he wouldn't admit it. it would be too damaging to his ego.

meanwhile, the clippers hype machine has been humming in the preseason, with basically every writer throwing them up as a force, with lue sure to win COY and one of their bench players sure to win SMOY, them certain to exceed 50 wins, etc.

this may all happen, but again i ask: if our big moves were trading the brightest spot of last season (powell) for collins and then adding a trio of quite aged bench players--all of whom have shown pretty obvious decline in recent years--how would people be talking about the lakers?

 

Never underestimate the mainstream media of being masters of promoting lies and half truths.

Hey Clipps

 

clips should aspire to be better

 

What you did there, I see it.

 

no, see, ballmer's really rich and the owners like him, so the clippers should be awarded a victory in that game.
