Pablo dropped another one today... apparently still has one in the chamber too... lol. The spurned employees are clearly feeding him info and know where the bodies are buried.
This one to me is more damning than the first report. There is a subsequent report that Ballmer invested another $10M later. The reason this is damning is the ignorance defense is now gone. There is no way they didn't know it was a sinking ship at that point. The "they conned me" defense is...
I think some owners may be furious... but not enough to really push the others. I think Silver is moving towards trying to make this go away but the one wrinkle in all of this is the Aspiration higher ups seem pissed... the ones talking to Pablo. They seem to be pointing him toward where the...
And they end up taking away whatever credential he does have or whatever. Kawhi doesn't lose his contract. Dennis becomes the main fall guy. Clips get slapped with a couple seconds and the MAXIMUM fine of 7.5M and some sort of probation where they are monitored in some form or fashion.
Said something similar below. Of course these teams say they are pissed and they would never do stuff. Imagine a team rep being like "yeah this stuff happens a lot... we aren't happy about this but whatevs.".
People cited Zach Lowe saying other owners are furious and this is not common as a reason to think NBA owners will get tough. Its just like politicians though. "Yeah we are mad and can't believe they did that... we never do that (even though they definitely do some stuff like that)" then vote...
Agree. Will say I was encouraged by his brief stint in summer league. Only a couple forced bad shots and seemed willing to pass and did the extra stuff like out of area rebounding... that I like to see. Take all the grains of salt because summer league but as we have seen... some guys get more...
I'm just playing lol. In our fictitious fight we have to play the extreme roles for fun. I actually appreciate the degree of humility/reasonableness you displayed in your concern on Bilal.
I will say... these player types going to rat teams can really hurt them imo. Like yes they have room to...

This is part of the reason I think owners will shy away from digging too hard. To me this is stuff that happens more frequently than we might think. Using 150k to get a guy on a minimum that has 10+ choices maybe... day to day...
Look I never said he would suck... we both have to play to our extreme role here. Extreme is the culture these days. You thought he was a HOFer and I thought he was a G League scrub.
When he has a nice dunk and a couple steals in a meaningless Wiz game you can post the clips and say "can't...
Thank you Tony! Truly appreciated the time here and on the Pod. Bittersweet for us over here. Very happy you are having the success you are and get to be closer to family. All the best to you and your family.
I mean I hope so but Sterling and Sarver had so much other stuff going on that was bad and pretty well known... Ballmer is completely different from these two jokers.
We will see what happens here but maybe the other owners are truly willing to push the NBA and Silver to go hard here. Still so...
