It’s pretty obvious Leon did something for Brunson for him to take less on that contract!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I this goes to court it’s going to expose the league on a massive scale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yeah, it would take down the whole league if they started tugging on this thread.

With Jalen though he’s pretty public facing and you see him doing appearances and endorsement deals (which likely makes up any “loss” of income), so even if there was hush hush stuff going on it be hard to prove, plus he took all money that was available to him that season.

Or Silver knows full well that teams are circumventing the cap and doesn't care.

He works for Ballmer. Not the other way around.

Always thought Leonard was smarter than this. Investing 50 million into a fake tree planting business and couldn't make it look more legitimate? You know how easy it is to set up a contracting company? Then make fake bids on projects? Stupid, absolutely stupid with everyone involved.

This should cost them 5 first rounders at minimum.

Imagine if Dolan got caught doing this and what the reaction would be?

And like sham just pointed out...these fools circumvented the cap and paid Leonard extra money through a fake company...just for him to barely even play. :lol:

That in itself is worth punishment

You mean Ballmer right?

Nothing happens to Leonard outside of his contract being voided.

Luckily for them, America and the NBA don't really give a flying f*ck about corruption anymore, so we can safely figure absolutely nothing happens.
