I read about that yesterday. He disemboweled the dude. I wonder how this impacts Jaylen's psyche going into the upcoming season. Not a distraction the Celtics needed. At least they're going into a season where they've already mailed it in (to an extent).

btw Doris Burke and Richard Jefferson are insufferable. hopefully a change is made before the next Finals. their constant glazing is just too much.

hopes half answered! now do Jefferson.

NEWS: ABC/ESPN has demoted Doris Burke from its NBA Finals team and promoted Tim Legler, sources tell @AndrewMarchand.

Legler will pair Mike Breen and Richard Jefferson.

Balmer circumventing the cap? wild if true

BREAKING: Kawhi Leonard allegedly signed a $28M "no-show job" endorsement deal with a fraudulent tree-planting company secretly funded by $50M from Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, per @PabloTorre

Sources say it was all "to circumvent the salary cap."😳

Ya looks to be true.

This does happen tho, but not this much money and they didn't definitely left too much of a paper trail.

Kawhi living everyone's dream, being a no-show in two jobs and getting paid millions.

Brah's missed 62% of his Clippers career, getting paid the max plus $28M under the table. If the league hands down a similar punishment as they did to the Wolves with the Joe Smith fiasco (and this seems worse to me) the Clippers will likely get hit with a handful of 1st round pick forfeitures and millions in fines, as well as Leonard's contract being voided.

The Clippers helped facilitate the Thunder's second NBA Championship and first in OKC. They're so generous.

But if they make it do they count it as a FG/FGA?

makes no sense. a shot is a shot if there's time on the clock.
