I'm not 100% sure if this has already been posted.
Starts at around the 40 second mark. I understand how current/former players would sympathize with Kawhi, but the hosts of this podcast take it to a whole other stupid level. Calling a journalist like Pablo who's just investigating a matter of public interest a snitch? And RJ and Perk aren't much better. The only semblance of sanity comes from Allie who asks "Where's the integrity?" in response to her co-hosts, at around 3m32s.

Someone investigate Channing 🍟s past contracts
Integrity of the sport and league only matters to fans. For everyone else, it’s a business or a job, or in the case of Ballmer, a toy.Â
Torre isnt a snitch since he neither works for the Clippers, any team or any NBA player. A voice of reason should have stopped the whole conversation right there.
Players don’t care about how they’re paid, they just want to be paid so it’s up to the NBA to monitor they’re getting paid within the rules
Former player thinks it’s wonderful players can earn more without doing anything. Stunning
All the media members signed to Klutch trying to dismiss this story…hmmm
This is the cycle. When you gain noteriaty the hate will come. This is a huge story. Pablo will be around for a long time.
Pretty much all of us fans care bud
Tech bro money but a hoodrich mindset gets people to say the dumbest shit.
Money pleaseeeeeeee
What a letdown by Channing. Snitching, really? The NBA is a corporation/sports league, not a gang or a middle school playground.
Because its the right thing to do, the real question is why would you want this shit to continue?
“Snitching” is just journalism you idiot
These guys bend more rules than the catholic church
Channing’s point of $28m to ballmer being like a bottle of lemonade is EXACTLY why he’s *snitching.
*reporting on rule breaking within the league Channing “covers”.
What a dumbass take.
The salary cap is decided upon between the owners and NBAPA. Literally in their interest to care about the integrity of the cap. Imagine if Kobe took 8 million on the books from the Lakers and a 75 million Staples no-show contract on the side and that was what the market calibrated to. Channing Frye would’ve made less that a punt returner on the practice squad
Well, if nothing else this convinced me to subscribe to Pablo’s podcast.
Most NBA players were once the dumb, non-introspective dickbags you knew in High School. And at the end of the day they’re getting paid more by billionaire white guys who put the cap in place to pay players less. Can’t say I’m shocked their responses.
Channing Frye has always been a bum
Fuck Channing Frye.
What an ignorant POS thing to say. Snitching? Like wouldn’t saying nothing be worse for players?
Journalists don’t snitch. They are the people you snitched to. Dumbass….
L take from Channing. Pablo broke the biggest sports story in recent history doing actual journalism which is a dying profession because all these fuckers are bought and sold these days. Independent journalism is very rare these days. We as fans deserve to understand why ours team with all the cap space in the world and in a desirable location can’t land certain free agents. Under the table deals need to be exposed because sports betting has prop bets for everything and they are defrauding the public with this hidden shady stuff!
lol I always understood a snitch to be someone who was a participant in an activity then cuts a deal for themselves to save their own skin when said activity might come to light. Not, you know, a reporter doing their job.
Because it undermines the integrity of the league. If fans start thinking the NBA is fixed or shady, they’ll stop caring. Fewer fans = less money. Less money = lower salaries. The NBA only exists because fans pour billions into tickets, TV deals, and merch. Players don’t exist in a vacuum- they exist inside a financial system built on trust that the competition is real. Calling it “snitching” misses the point. Without fans, there’s no money, no massive contracts, no system for players like Channing Frye to benefit from. The league needs transparency to survive.
