From my understanding the CBA doesn’t give silver the power to suspend players for this so the contract voiding is really the only thing he could’ve done and I think they went a little light on Kawhi so he doesn’t appeal which leaves Ballmer little options to fight this.

It was light enough that Kawhi even admitted people around him (I.e. his uncle) did this which really seals the clippers fate here.

Wow really glad they threw the book at Ballmer and the Clippers.

Would have really lost my interest in the league if they had let this slide since it just makes the richest teams have a massive advantage. Really glad they did this.

It’s mostly going to be how the instances handle federation and other policies, basically the same as .ca and .zip are different.

Yeah only way they can make up for Watson is upgrading like zeke with the pics, otherwise it’s a step back and wasting jokic prime

Only thing for Denver would be if they can package these with Zeke to get a solid player.

I hope that’s a this offseason move cause they need depth and you want time to build chemistry but I’m guessing its going to be a trade deadline move.

Saw somewhere else bring up that ballmer was already fined for something like this was Deandre Jordan. Really don’t see how you can just give him another slap on the wrist.

Way too many instances of Kawhi getting paid to do nothing for them to not take picks at least, really may need to suspend Kawhi for a year too at this point.

Seems like it may end up being a deal to get the tax charges dropped.

Sorry been busy with work and family. I’ll make a new post shortly that puts up options to have the community vote.

Probably give it the offseason for voting and we can move before the new season if that sounds good with everyone.

Was he really that mad that they felt they had to trade him for this?

Edit: To think they could have had Giannis if they just included Hugo and now they got Paul George lol

Yeah the fit is good and I looked at the available centers after commenting and realized there’s not many options available that are a good fit so it’s a bit more understandable.

Really all in on this core with the PO and trade kicker though.

Kessler’s $130M deal includes a player option in the fourth season, plus a full trade kicker

Feel like this is an asset overpay for Kessler especially with that contract structure.

I’m sure it’s not going to happen but would be really funny if the Raptors win it next year.

Yeah I think people are focusing on the upside way too much. Last year and his rookie year are the only season above 50 games played I believe.

Like it may looks great when he’s healthy but that’s going to be such a potential risk and they now pretty much no draft capital to change this team much.

Heat must’ve felt they had to do all this to beat the Celtics offer cause yeah they’re gonna be a bit bare bones now.

Then again they also find some undrafted players to ball out for a bit.

Guessing this is to make room for Morant if the rumors are true.

Most points scored by a Knick in the finals apparently!
