Episode Details

ESPN reported on Monday that the NBA's investigation into the Clippers, Steve Ballmer, Kawhi Leonard and potential cap circumvention has yielded no hard evidence that Ballmer illegally funneled money to Kawhi -- but does the NBA agree with that reporting? In Episode 2170, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob parse the latest reporting from ESPN and Pablo Torre and try to draw some conclusions about what it all means for the Toronto Raptors and their proposed trade for Leonard. Does the latest reporting make it more or less likely that the deal gets done? Is the NBA intentionally ignoring the wording the CBA regarding the worthiness of circumstantial evidence? Does anybody involved in this saga care about the reported misdeeds of Ballmer and Kawhi's camp as much as Pablo Torre? And should Raptors fans feel morally confused about whether to embrace Leonard if and when he joins the team? The saga that's consumed us all summer continues, baby!
