Report: Kawhi's uncle may have violated CBA in Clippers signing

[bladefd]

"This is me putting on my reporter's hat here. People in NBA circles are talking about this right now: Allegedly, the uncle, Uncle Dennis, was asking for a lot of stuff from the other teams; houses, planes, sponsorship, guaranteed sponsorship money, just as an example. They're throwing this stuff out there. All of those things are supposedly illegal in the collective bargaining agreement. I have no idea whether this is true or not. I'm not trying to cast any aspersions on Uncle Dennis, but people in NBA circles are talking about this as we speak. Why is that important? Because one could argue the reason why this story is out there right now about the Lakers and the Raptors feeling played wasn't just because of what Uncle Dennis asked for, but they're going to try to turn that around and parlay that into a question about what did the Clippers give up to get Kawhi Leonard. So in other words, you've got teams right now playing games with one another talking about they're trying to point the finger at the Clippers saying, 'let's ask what the Clippers did to get Kawhi Leonard.'"

"I'm here to tell you right now, we don't care. We don't care. The bottom line is Kawhi Leonard is with the Los Angeles Clippers. He's not with the Lakers or the Raptors, but I'm telling you right now in the days to come you're going to hear more noise about what Kawhi's camp was asking for, with questions about what the Clippers gave up."

There could be an nba investigation coming. Clippers could be fined and lose picks.. NBA technically has the power to void Kawhi's contract if found guilty, but I doubt we would see something crazy like that..

Not like they can do anything about it......unless Silver pulls a "basketball reasons" on the clippers?

[qrich]

Lakers reaching so bad.

[clipps]

Lakers are such crybabies. Ballmer has more power in one fingernail than the entire Buss family combined.

[Facepalm]

Basketball reasons, Kawhi goes back to Canada

If you had bothered to actually read the article, you'd see that the NBA can actually do a whole hell of a lot about it. Stiff fines, lost draft picks, and more.

On the other hand, the source for this story is Stephen A. Until I hear this information verified by a source I trust, I'm treating it as as an unsubstantiated rumor.

cap circumvention is more serious than just tampering(see joe smith). Dont think anything will come out of it but if there's more smoke, we'll see. Good thing the clips barely have any picks lol

[Phenith]

There was reports right away out of TO that uncle Dennis was asking for a lot of crazy stuff... it really wouldn't surprise me if this stuff is true.
Regardless, as a Raps fan, I still hold no grudges, the dude came in, put in his work, brought a chip to Canada and went home when all was said and done, everything he did while he was here was to bring the Raps a chip and we will always be grateful to him. How he ended up in LA won't bother me as I don't believe TO had much chance at re-signing him regardless.

[RealSkipBayless]

Clippers prob gave him like 50% ownership. You could tell how desperate they were. :oldlol:

[bigkingsfan]

This is a desperate offseason story.

Nah i did and I'm aware of that. But at the end of the day if they still have Kawhi, I'm not giving a single solitary damn if I'm the clippers. This is a win now move. Unless they delay the lost picks until Kawhi leaves or retires it won't mean much as they'll be winning anyway during this time. There's no way the league blocks him from the clippers, that would be some bs and nobody relevant would have cap to sign him. Would be the knicks lucky day.:oldlol:

Lebron and the Lakers...such entitled ****wits.....imagine how hard they are crying behind the scenes hahahah

[Spurs m8]

How shameless can one person be? Hahaha

I still dont know why anyone would stan this guy...not only is there nothing appealing about him...hes just a straight up embarrassment off the court. And on it at times too

[bluechox2]

Joe smith deal all over again... so if they lose picks, does okc lose them as well

Ballmer has too much power for that to happen.

[Derka]

Steven A still mourning the Knicks being meaningless.

[ronniec]

Can't imagine what Ballmer will do if you piss him off.

[Facepalm]

Excited Ballmer is indeed frightening
