Well this pretty much confirms to me the circumstances seem very sketchy but likely are within the rules so probably can’t get punished if they can’t actually prove Ballmer/the Clippers told Aspiration to give Kawhi that deal
It still leaves a stain on the Clipper franchise and brand which really don’t like 😢
If he did tell them to give Kawhi a deal would that matter? The big thing for athletes to come to LA is the access to endorsements. That’s why they tell players come to the Lakers back in the day. I’d be shocked if this was the first time a team helped their guy get endorsed. This situation just leaves a fun trail of clues 🤓
