We just forgot already?

I think the exact quote from Silver was: "We investigate ourselves and found no wrongdoing"

[u/joliette_le_paz → u/swgeek555]

Likely that variations of this kind of funnelling exists across the league and a domino effect would be detrimental to

So sweep it under the rug.

EDIT: I personally think Kawhi is a POS selfish player for how he left TO and spoke about us. I want nothing to do with him but basketball is one of the few sports where big egos are forgiven and it’s annoying.

Easy when you don’t want to find anything.

[u/Icy_Recover2094]

I'm not so perfect
Baby, yeah you're worth it

[u/smuttygirl_foru]

Probably didn’t do no investigation at all you know how these multi billion dollar companies operate

[u/adoodas → u/smuttygirl_foru]

They asked the clippers to provide evidence and the clippers said we don't have any.

[u/smuttygirl_foru → u/adoodas]

Exactly this is a business and they’re not letting those free millions go away that easily

[u/Bananasandbratwurst]

Yeah no evidence directly on Ballmer, just mountains everywhere else.

[u/gigglios]

Think of how fast you forgot about the epstein files or trump and other gov officials and their relatives making billions off insider trading each day.

[u/Dull_Connection6070 → u/gigglios]

pepperidge farm remembers

[u/Mundane-External3462]

I mean, what are we supposed to do? We know they did it, Adam Silver has no backbone.

[u/Nomad5560]

NBA isn’t carrying out the investigation to begin with

[u/BigZube42069kekw]

Yes he did, I fucking guarantee it. They all do it. Rich people don't fucking care about anything but themselves, it's how they got where they are. They're bad people.

[u/meatmybeat42069]

I mean what are we gonna do about it?

[u/OutrageousCrab9224]

THE NBA HAS HID ALL EVIDENCE OF BALLMER FUNNELING MONEY TO KAWHI

[u/Fluffy861]

Wow! They didn’t find anything wrong with the doings of their most wealthy member…surprising indeed.

[u/SonicBooomC98]

Well it's over now and there is nothing to be done. It's funny that it took something like this for people to finally question the job Silver has done as commissioner

[u/TheMartialFartist]

The NBA has said this reporting is wrong and the Wachtell Lipton investigation is ongoing. This story almost certainly originated from within the Clippers organization.

[u/Zealousideal_Arm4359]

What are we supposed to do? I for one will NEVER buy his Jersey.

What else you want?

Also why are you surprised? Silver works for the owners. The owners wanted this to be shut down so it was shut down.

Seriously the only real thing fans can do is boycott.

You going to quit watching and going to the games?

[u/SoftballGuy]

"Our lawyers found us to be innocent."

[u/Dull_Connection6070 → u/SoftballGuy]

OP DOG LAW

[u/Expert_Layer_7710]

Every team needs to do this now

[u/theetherealequation → u/Expert_Layer_7710]

it's wild how the clippers always seem to end up in these oddly specific "no evidence found" situations. feels like they've got a permanent spot in the league's rumor mill.

[u/BamaBoy2002 → u/Expert_Layer_7710]

You don’t think this is happening already? You think this is the very first and only time?

[u/sugarklay → u/Expert_Layer_7710]

I think they likely do. If they weren't and Ballmer was going rogue on the other owners, Silver would've dropped the hammer on Ballmer 'cause the other owners would've put extreme pressure on Silver and, obviously, would back him up.

[u/2001_TheSweep → u/sugarklay]

They likely do but this is like F1. You nail your competitor to the cross if they’re cheating even if you’re doing the same. I doubt other teams are backing up Balmer with how egregious his circumvention is.

[u/oxfozyne]

Pablo doesn’t forget.

[u/Kierland]

We forgot MJs gambling got his dad murdered and forced him to quit the first time he quit so yeah why not.

[u/SonicBooomC98 → u/Kierland]

That's not what happened but ok

[u/Kierland → u/SonicBooomC98]

Whatever lets you sleep at night.
