MacMahon: Kawhi does whatever Kawhi and Uncle Dennis feel like he wants to do.
Windhorst: I do not dispute that assessment.
MacMahon: They left the San Antonio Spurs in shambles, but the the Raptors benefited greatly. They won a championship in his one year, but then, you know –
Windhorst: But that statement doesn't implicate the Clippers. Now, it may it may take you on the path to implicating the Clippers…
MacMahon: It doesn't. But if you decide to get into business with people who are consistently shady, I don't know how much you deserve the benefit of the doubt when things come up that look really shady.

Oh how they change their tune
Looks like the NBA is working hard to make sure he and steve gets away with it too.
Windy still defending the clippers lmao.
When Spurs fans were saying something wasn’t right with Kawhi and his uncle, r/nba called us salty.
Let the apologies be as loud as the slander and disrespect.
Never have I felt so vindicated.
Imagine doing all this and the furthest you go is a conference finals loss to the fucking Suns… lmao
Yeah the league is gonna position Uncle Dennis as a rogue agent who did all of this alone. The NBA agent rules don’t apply to him and the CBA doesn’t apply to him. So the clippers get away free and Kawhi gets away free. Uncle Dennis will get a lifetime ban from NBA arenas and they’ll call it a job well done.
Which is so crazy.
I can see doing all this for James Harden, kind of. Harden loves the bag but at LEAST he’s actually on the court competing and playing pretty darn well.
Kawhi isnt even giving them PT most of the time. But y’all are circumventing the cap and giving him $48 mil just for breathing?
Wild stuff.
“Kawhi and uncle Dennis, Greed” – A 30 for 30 ESPN documentary (15 years from now).
And still can’t even make the finals
This is more damage control. The spin failed and there’s a pivot to either mitigating liability to shifting the liability.
Bending your entire set of rules to accommodate Kawhi fucking Leonard is embarrassing from the NBA as a sports league. You’d think he’s Lionel Messi from the amount of rules he’s exempt from
do windy’s knees hurt from how much he’s been sucking off the clippers?
No wonder he doesn’t give a damn about playing and load manages like crazy. He literally is just chillin and collecting money multiple places
Piling on load management is awesome, get all your Kawhi grievances out lol
Uncle Dennis is like the new boogeyman.
Watch out kids, Uncle Dennis might start taking part of your allowance if you don’t behave.
Tell me your Ballmer’s lapdog without telling me your Ballmer’s lapdog.
Why wasn’t Uncle Dennis banned after asking teams for ownership
Damn, the league better save the Clippers from Kawhi by voiding the contract. Take away a few 1st round picks to make sure another young star doesn’t take advantage of them while they’re still healing from this.
Windy isn’t a journalist, he’s a pawn.
Ballmer hasn’t exactly played by rules either. See Microsoft monopoly rulings.
Outside of that shot in Toronto, Kawhi has been a pretty fucking trash superstar. Imagine paying this much for load management.
Sure Kawhi asked for illegal things from the Raptors and Lakers. But he stopped when he got to the Clippers. Sure.
Honestly, Fuck Kawhi, Fuck Windy, Fuck Ballmer, Fuck Wong, & Fuck unlce Dennis. All of them are complicit. Oh and fuck the NBA too.
Kawaii is such a lame player. Doesn’t even play and they do these ridiculous gymnastics to give him millions more when he doesn’t even play half the season and is hurt constantly. Players like this are drastically overpaid.
Ballmer is now siccing the ESPN mouthpieces on Kawhai.
Crazy, because players aren’t beholden to cap rules
How the hell it does not implicate the Clippers when they were the TEAM that did the deal to get him and PAID the scam company to pay Kawhi the extra money?
Windy, shut up.
ESPN trying real hard to protect that major investment they made in the NBA this summer. So new strategy is put 100% of the blame on the player and 0% on the organization that facilitated the cap circumvention.
Also appreciate the Spurs call out here…this stuff has a LONG and STINKY history going back to his time in San Antonio, and that stink follows Kawhi (and Uncle Dennis) to every single place he goes.
Spurs basically went from a 20-year playoff team to a lottery team overnight because of Kawhi, and also a respected team known for taking good care of their players to “BuT tHe SPuRs DoCtORs!!”
Fortunately we came out of it with Wemby in the end, but man…it was a tough time for Spurs fans.
Blaming Kahwi and Uncle Dennis is dumb
Kawhi may be a purely psychopathic self interested person, but so is everyone else in the NBA, especially the owners of the teams. Who gives a fuck
Kawhi and Uncle Dennis were right?
Clippers also didn’t feel the rules apply with Lawrence Frank tampering in 2019.
