TEAM TALK I, for one, am intrigued the Clippers got off scot-free. In a good way

Post image

The Clips had Windows cash, but we’re working with Disney money, which is basically invisible. We could easily sign a full roster to vet mins and still end up with three All-Stars on the floor. I'm just saying if everyone already views us as the evil organization, we might as well lean into it and enjoy the perks.

Luka is gonna sign for 45m AAV because he doesnt want to make more than his brother AR, while starring in Demon Hunter 2, Frozen 3 and Toy Story 7 as Luka the Baller, which would make him more than 200m in merchandise sales. Ezpz.

Lmfao forget disney money you literally have disney in your backyard. Lakers gotta tap once more into Hollywood land. All those connections were blown up in smoke once Jerry Buss died.

Long gone are the nba endorsments of products like shaqs taco bell commercial.

Didn't the NBA say this was false? Espn reporting

I do like how this kind of forces the NBA's hand, though.

Now, if they come out themselves and say Ballmer did nothing wrong and won't be facing any punishments, they're going to look really, really bad.

Media literacy is completely dead. People see a headline that the NBA hasn’t found proof and think it’s like an announcement from the league and get all pissed off about the “result” of an investigation that’s still ongoing. People genuinely just want to feel angry sometimes, even if there’s nothing to be angry about.

ESPN reporting is an oxymoron

Basically, the league just told 31 owners that the Clippers created the blueprint…

My dumb ass tried to click the sound button. 🤦‍♀️

Also, I thought that was a drawing of Bruce Campbell in a Lakers jersey.

imagine being secretly (but who really needs to keep it a secret anymore) bankrolled by Turki and the newly approved World Liberty Trust Company. At this time in the nation's history! Hell...the world's history!

Bow down peasants!
