Yeah, not surprised. I am sure this kind of **** happens a lot.
Yeah, but this one actually got out. Kind of surprised we don't hear more things like this.

it’s a little surprising how blatant they were about it. Like, there’s gotta be a better way to set something like this up that’s semi-legit. I’ll be interested in seeing what the punishment ends up being.

Nice non-denial denial by the Clipps and Balmer.
I wouldn’t hold your breath.

The T-wolves did something similar with Joe Smith. They lost 5 1st round picks.... the nba later gave them 2 back but 3 is still a lot as well

This is grotesque. Baller should be the 2nd Clippers owner to be chased out in a decade.

This. The owners will tell the NBA what they are willing to do as recompense and that will be that. They will go about business as usual, which is paying players under the table and fixing the lottery and deciding where the stars need to go. Maxing out the money machine, in short.
I dunno if the rest of the league will live a precedent of something like this being unpunished.

Balmer should be forced out and Kawhi suspended for 1 full season without pay... Just my opinion.
