It’s not ok to cheat. But we have to be realistic about these things. I don’t see where the appetite to bring Balmer, the clippers and Kawhi to...
Could you explain this analogy to me? I don’t underhand it?
I think when it’s all said and done, the owners know that Balmer will be close to paying the most amount of luxury tax out of anyone because he...
I’ve said it before, but I just don’t see the appetite from owners and/or the players association to really go into this too deeply. The...
If this is the case, find some proof that sticks, and make an example of them. That's cheating that helped them build a better team.
You’re not circumventing the cap though. There was no advantage to the clippers in building out their team, it’s not like Kawhi took half the max...
This is one of the reasons why they have signing on bonuses in football I guess. But they also don’t have a hard cap. I think the next CBA has...
This isn’t true, Kawhi was promised equity in the company to the tune of $20m in shares. And 7m per year in endorsements for 4 years. He only got...
Like I said, are you really circumventing the cap if the guy got paid the max? He’s being paid full value already. This would be far bigger news...
Also another point that’s worth stating is: the clippers didn’t really benefit from paying Kawhi extra. He was already on a max, it’s not like...
It is obvious, and you’re right. But you can’t go punishing people without clear proof - that’s just the reality of the situation. For the...
I just don’t believe the NBA has the appetite to go after Balmer. He’s good for the NBA, deep pockets that means he’s willing to pay taxes so the...
While we’re at it what about LeBron’s involvement in Klutch? We all know he has sway with his management company. That’s a clear misalignment of...
I’m not calling any forum poster naive, I’m trying to say all of us fans would be naive to think that this kind of stuff doesn’t happen more than...
I'm not saying they didn't circumvent the cap. I'm saying that there won't be enough paper trail, that they'll get away with it because it's...
I think we would be naive to think much more substantial deals aren't being paid. As an example, my business associate pays player X endorsements...
I wonder what will come from this, at the moment, I don't believe a huge amount. It's just really hard to prove that Balmer paid money to...
Lebron passed on the mantle to a worthy successor. Fat Luka is going to pass on his mantle one day too. Maybe to Zion…
Your argument isn’t really one in good faith though. Jerami Grant at the time was 28, averaging 20/5 with a steel and a block shooting 40% from 3...
Maxi Kleber is the Chosen One
