According to Zach Lowe yesterday (before the Ballmer interview), he received this text from a league executive: “Most people I’ve talked to think the Clippers need to explain this now. They have the job to prove their innocence at this point… It’s now on the Clippers and Kawhi to...

Fischer: “Kawhi Leonard is very open to signing an extension with Toronto.” “It does not appear at this juncture, that the Clippers have been as interested in awarding that type of money to stick around in Los Angeles.” “The Clippers aren’t just like calling around, trying to shop Kawhi Leonard to the highest bidder either. They are looking for the Raptors to meet some type of threshold that’s going to be equivalent to the Pacers blowing the Clippers away, and giving them 2 first round picks for Ivica Zubac, to the Cavaliers giving them an All-Star point guard 10 years younger than James Harden.” “Toronto has an absolute preference of putting Brandon Ingram in the deal as major salary-piece for Kawhi, not RJ Barrett. I think part of that is positional playing style overlap between Kawhi Leonard and Brandon Ingram.” “I do think the Clippers have some level of interest in getting BI back, being that, the Clippers, even though they’re in the middle of this youth movement […], they still want to be a playoff team.” “I have been given 0 indication that the NBA investigation into the Kawhi, the Clippers, all the Aspiration allegations, that the league is NOT going to do anything at this juncture.” [via. Bleacher Report]

Zach Lowe (Zach Lowe) says a deal where Kevin Durant goes to the LA Clippers would likely break down over the inclusion of Ivica Zubac, but he believes the Clippers are “going to do something this Summer that catches people off guard”:

Pablo Torre says the Clippers’ alleged Kawhi Leonard cap circumvention is not Steve Ballmer’s first offense, dating back to a $250,000 fine in 2015 “This is not a first-time offense.” “In 2015, DeAndre Jordan—you can look this up—Steve Ballmer gets fined and the Clippers get fined $250,000 because they tried to offer DeAndre Jordan a marketing deal with Lexus, which was a team sponsor.” “That was the first instance of Steve Ballmer getting punished for cap circumvention.” “Then 2019 comes around with two other separate NBA franchises calling for an investigation.” “And now you have Aspiration and now you have Daktronics.” “This is not some out-of-the-sky, new thing for people to contemplate in the league office.” “This is a multiple alleged offender who has clearly taken the warning, according to my reporting, of 2019 and done something even more vast and ambitious allegedly.” “That’s the part where it’s crazy.”

Haynes: “The Clippers and the Raptors are in talks. They are communicating. I was told there was a bit of a stalling point right now between those two teams.” “Kawhi Leonard, as it was relayed to me, that would be a team that he would sign an extension with.” “The Clippers right now, from what I’m told, they still want a little bit more than the Toronto Raptors are offering right now. It’s a little bit of a stalling point right now.” “I think it’s very unlikely that Kawhi Leonard returns to the Los Angeles Clippers. I think it’s a situation where it’ll be hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube.” 👀 😳 ( 🎥: NBA TV )

Steve Ballmer was asked why Aspiration would pay Kawhi Leonard $7 million per year to do nothing. Ballmer: “I don’t know why they did what they did. And I don’t know how different it is… Any speculation would be crazy. These were guys who committed fraud. How would I be able to — look, they conned me… At this stage, I have no ability to predict why they might have done anything they did. Let alone the specific contract with Kawhi.” 🎥: ESPN

Draymond Green suggests that the Golden State Warriors will be "looking" at the LA Clippers after winning the 5th overall pick and monitoring the availability of Kawhi Leonard, via The Draymond Green Show. "You talk about the Golden State Warriors, who have won championships, you have to look at the Los Angeles Clippers in the fifth spot and say: 'Huh, what are they gonna do?' Are they going to draft the fifth pick and put him next to Kawhi Leonard or are they going to move Kawhi Leonard, try to get more draft assets, and start a rebuild?"

Draymond on Pacers losing their pick to the Clippers in the NBA Draft Lottery “Are they (Clippers) gonna draft the fifth pick and put him next to Kawhi Leonard or are they gonna move Kawhi Leonard, try to get more draft assets and start a rebuild?... but I will say, tough luck man, the (Pacers) did get their starting center but if that comes at the heels of a Perennial All-Star, this could be viewed as Top 5 worst trades ever”

🤔 Adam Silver when asked what he would say to a Raptors fan regarding the ongoing investigation/stalled Kawhi to Toronto trade: “Just to clarify, we did not disapprove that trade. What happened was, the Clippers and the Raptors negotiated a trade. We just said to the Raptors, the extent there were to be any discipline, and I’m not forecasting that against Kawhi, that travels with the player.” “I think the issue here is, the Raptors acknowledging that they accept that the player, not them, but they could be subject to any potential discipline. It seems like the Raptors made a decision that we’d rather you wrap up this investigation, so we have full knowledge before this trade has consummated.” (Via. WSJ Events | 🔗:

Draymond Green on Russell Westbrook and the Clippers vs Mavs series: “The X-factor in this series is going to be Russ because Russ is gonna have to guard Kyrie with Kawhi being on Luka. Russ is the X-factor for that team. No surprise they struggled for the last 1.5 months because Russ missed most of that time. At some point in this series Ty Lue is gonna have to scrap Russ off the bench and move Russ into that starting lineup in order to win this series.” Draymond knows ball 💯

The broadcast did not do justice to exactly HOW empty that arena was. This was one hour into the event at 3:02 pm PST. They had the lights dimmed and the armchair strobe lights going off 95% of the time to try and hide how few people were there. I’m sure the NBA or the Clippers will blame it being in Inglewood, or blame it being a matinee, but there’s ZERO excuse for this. This is corporate greed ruining what was once a marquee event, plain and simple. I recorded this from my $450 upper level seat (which I feel like an absolute sucker for buying). Lower level seats through the Clippers were going for $2K. Most of the people I saw there had media credentials or team laminates on. Very few “fans.” LA loves basketball…there should have been people hanging from the rafters for this. Ballmer should be ashamed, the Clippers should be ashamed, the NBA should be ashamed. Give some tickets to an Inglewood school at least! I remember the Staples Center one a few years back was packed to the gills with kids groups and field trips. Video via:

Brian Windhorst and Kendrick Perkins believe Kawhi to the Raptors is the first power shift move of the Eastern Conference 🤔 Windy: The Heat have the potential to do that but they aren’t yet ready to contend. The Raptors are now ready to contend… We’ve been watching the East get weaker for the past week Perk: I said this morning that the Knicks were still sleeping with the AC on 60 because they weren’t worried about Giannis to Miami. They up now. Kawhi Leonard keeps people up. Kawhi is the actual boogeyman

Pablo Torre says the Clippers’ own GM couldn’t keep track of the secret side deals with Kawhi Leonard, because Steve Ballmer had built the biggest salary cap circumvention scheme in the history of pro sports “As much as I want to be the guy to discover the salary cap circumvention with the Clippers… it goes into 2015, what does the richest owner in American sports want to do and what is he not able to because of these pesky cardinal rules?” “I continue to quote Michael Winger, the general manager of the Clippers at that time, because he says, ‘How many side deals have we made with Kawhi?’ In an exasperated way.” “Because what Ballmer did, according to all of our reporting as well as the allegations in 2019 was service a free agent that he wanted as much as a person can want anything. Just imagine the motive here.” “He’s opening the Intuit. He needs a franchise player. He’s a basketball fan. He’s competing with the Lakers in their very same city. And Kawhi Leonard had just won a title, microwaved the championship with the Raptors.” “So the desire here cannot be overstated. And the ambition is also proportional to that. So what do you do, according to our reporting? You create the largest salary cap circumvention scheme that’s ever existed in professional sports.”

John Collins says he appreciates the accountability of this Clippers team. “It’s intense. You got CP, James, Kawhi. Brook, champ. All of our guys. Seeing how they come in and work. And also how they’re speaking to me. The demands and accountability that they want from me to play at is a lot higher than I’ve had to deal with before. It’s nothing for me to go down in a hole and play a little harder. I’m happy to have those guys more than anything cheering me on. And leading me to hopefully a ring.”
