[Torre] Dennis J. Wong, chairman of the LA Clippers and the entity who invested $2M into Aspiration — as it was struggling financially— 9 days before Leonard received $1.75M, had a daughter who worked at Aspiration under the title “Project Manager, Operations and Strategy”.

  5. The irony of this whole thing is that Kawhi has been unhealthy almost the entire time, and when he’s on the court, he’s been a shell of himself. Ballmer is getting killed in the media for not producing much, really.

  6. If Ballmer gets the death penalty for the Clippers while also trading MVP SGA to the Thunder and their title, Billy King and Ted Stepien finally have competition

  8. The fact that this is all over a guy that hasn’t been healthy in years makes the thing 10x odder.
    I’d get doing all of this to get young star, but Balmer really did all this for *Kawhi*?

  14. Boy are the clippers cooked, no way silver can go ahead and shush this, uncle dennis and the claw are going to be send to the gulag no way the contract isnt voided, Silver has his back on the wall now lol

  15. Amin is so entertaining as the stand-in for every normal person hearing this shit. Just constantly going “WHAT” and “jesus…” and “😲”

  16. I think the appropriate punishment here would be to force a sale of the team (and take % of the sale money as retribution for the damages to the league) rather than punishing this derelict fan base further. Probably also Kawhi should be fined and suspended for years not months.

  20. This might be Ballmer’s biggest debacle. And he was behind Microsoft’s Zune media player 😅

  21. This company bamboozled Dennis Wong too! and his daughter!!! Balmer was right, these guys were pure fraudsters up to no good.

  22. Not sure how Woj came out and said there’s no smoking gun here. What else do they need at this point?

    Edit: Windhorst, not Woj

  23. That dunking Pablo gave Bill on his podcast looks even worse now if that was possible. Give Pablo the Peabody already!!!
    How about the Sixers & Harden that’s another one to look into!

  25. I’m sure it just gets to a point, where you get so comfortable circumventing the rules, that you just let your guard down and don’t care anymore. Kind of reminds me of Stallions paying people on Venmo for the In game scouting tickets and having the game in the memo lol

  27. We used to only have part of Jordan Clarkson, and a little bit of Jared McCain, but now we finally have a Filipino making a major impact in the NBA w/Kuya Pablo

  31. so when he was “seeking second opinion” on his knee in SA, Dennis was actually “seeking second revenue stream”

  36. Even though “it’s only sports “ it is nice to see that investigative journalism is well and alive

  38. I don’t see a problem with this at all. Just another guy who got “conned”. This time by his own daughter. It all makes sense. Not sure what the issue is. Nothing seems fishy here. No conflict of interests…../s

  40. If Pablo found this then the investigation firm the NBA hired should be able to find more. This is pretty damning. The co-owners daughter worked for Aspiration? That’s now 2 direct links. Ballmer didn’t know about this either? He got conned by the business that his business partner’s daughter worked for? This alone seems like enough evidence for me.

  42. If Adam Silver doesn’t find the Clippers guilty of skirting salary cap rules, he’s not serious about the issue. Other owners will start doing the same shit and the NBA might as well just do away with the salary cap altogether

  44. Ballmer and the Clippers are dead to rights and Pablo has left no stones unturned. It’s not a matter of if they did it anymore. It’s now a matter of what is the penalty going to be.

  46. This situation just got a lot more real for the Clippers. It’s going to be tough to deny knowing about this now that there’s a 2nd owner involved!
