Ethan said that he has been asking around the league and the consensus is that, “this isn’t something that Ballmer would do” regarding salary cap evasion but Ballmer ALREADY DID the exact thing that’s supposedly “out of character” for him. He already had to pay a fine of $250,000 in 2015 for offering an unauthorized business opportunity to free agent DeAndre Jordan. So save the, “he’s just not that type of guy” or, “he’s so smart to not get caught” he’s already been caught.
Also, Joe’s theory on why Aspiration might have been motivated to pay Kawhi separate from Ballmer’s influence falls apart when you ask the simple question of why did Kawhi get paid so much more then all the other A-list celebrities combined?!?
Thank you for the update! Still excited for it. I know you are going to break it down in a way that weaves together all takes and will give a good barometer for what will happen next. This story is like an HoS special!

I haven’t listened to this yet! But I really can’t wait until your story drops… this evening??? Hopefully 😃
I’ll be writing for tomorrow but I’m holding off on Kawhi for next week, if at all. Too many moving parts.
