2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

word is yes. and at a much lower dollar amount that didn't require them to be employed by the clippers.

but go on with the legal stuff, i guess.

i don't care if it's legal to lie about this stuff. it's obviously a lie. i'm going to call it that instead of being cute and defending a cheating centibillionaire.

 

I’m just arguing both facts both sides. Ballmer did give the city a new arena new jobs. And Intuit has been great for Inglewood.

I take basketball out of it. Cause I’ve had those debates with Sterling. I know how much of an a****** he is.

where it was the more look at them over there context of an NBA player

Ballmer is actually a genuinely good guy. Very involved with charity. Donated money for fire Aid. Hosted the concerts.

Basketball is Basketball.

I’ll go with you. It’s shady it’s f***ed up. You can’t prove it. And I get where you’re coming from. It’s not honorable.

I’m not gonna direct it at anybody else.

Ballmer is the richest guy in the league he doesn’t need to risk his integrity on a shady deal.

He could’ve just given Kawaii a s*** load of Microsoft stock.

Aspire was in bed with the Clippers and the Clippers were facilitating everything towards them.

He’s gotta answer why he invested 51 million in that.

but me and you can agree we can’t just throw 51 million away. That’s a lot of money. He took an L. Kawaii didn’t.

and personally on some man s*** Kawaii should issue a statement.

Ballmer did go on T.V. When people probably told him not to.

I feel pissed because a s*** company f***ed a whole lot of people over.

and yeah that sucks it was done the way it was. So let’s keep it above board. If there’s foul give them the same Joe Smith Penalty.

as far as I’m concerned it didn’t effect us Kawaii was never a Laker and was always a Clipper.

See your logic is good. But Uncle Dennis has been shady as f***. And I think the Clippers probably did other shady s*** to get Kawaii on the Clippers so go look at that. But this ain’t it.

As I stated Kawaiis boy hired as trainer and other things.

maybe there was a pre notion that Kawaii was going to sign with the Clippers way before Free agency. That’s the cheating. Look at that. Look at the tampering.

Doc Rivers saying Kawaii Leonard is Michael Jordan. Is Ballmer guilty of that absolutely.

and he’s a players whatever you want Owner.

I think he’ll get penalized. He’s doing what other Owners do getting an edge. It ain’t right. But it’s the NBA.

 

I love your passion man. I can really point you to a lot of other shady s*** the Clippers do.

hiring Lee Jenkins for Great articles.

Having media write glowing stories about how the Clippers are a great organization.

They do alot of stuff.

I will say their arena is first class and their people are first class.

In buisness dealings they are really great. And the arena experience.

Laker games feel like a Club

Clippers games feels like family in OKC it just does that’s facts.

and the Lakers are great people.

Ballmer is a tremendous guy.


I do think they bend the rules and I do think the Clippers should be held accountable. I just want to make sure there’s proof.


Because everybody speculates about us the Lakers oh they’re in bed with agents. I don’t want the norm to be speculation and hearsay can get your team penalized.

 

Facts are that Uncle Dennis was seeking all kinds of illegal perks. He was.

it was documented in the 2019 persuit of Kawaii.

to be penalized there has to be a paper trail and it can’t be based off of hearsay.

For all I know the paper trail could be that Ballmer invested the 51 million


And Silver can say that’s all I need because it’s proven you guys were part of a company together. The league was not notified of this which led to an assumption of misleading.

I’m not privy to the rules on that. Silver has all of the evidence.

 

Are you filibustering to make this all go away for your boy Steve Ballmer. Hint LOL it’s not going to work. Good Lord!

 

Look I just don’t get the big deal?

Lakers championships 17

Clippers 0

who cares. They got Kawaii and Paul George and we still won the championship.

The Clippers are the Clippers. They clip. This is a Clippers story.

So yeah Intuit has a lot of toilets.

Basketball wise this doesn’t scratch the surface. So when they make thier determination we’ll see and applaud with what they rule.

This isn’t even the biggest Scandal in Clippers history. V Stiliano silly rabbit and Donald Sterling.

so it’s fun.

 

Hearing yourself write?

 

JK

 

this is what it keeps coming back to: there are things everyone does and then there's this thing. people in the league are saying they're not the same.

being in bed with agents is much older than the lakers' current regime; we just did it to a greater extent (with a mixture of success and failure, but mostly success). the knicks then openly copied the whole hog agency model. there aren't rules against it and it doesn't circumvent the spirit of the cba.

purchasing part of a company that then dramatically overpays your player for services not rendered and contingent upon his employment with your franchise is a totally different animal.

 

My verdict on Ballmer
