This cokehead needs to be banned for life. What he has done is open a can of worms in American sports that there is no going back from. If he claims to be innocent and got scammed, he should still be banned for life. You can't have a retard running a billion dollar franchise. Microsoft got rid of this guy for a reason
What did he do?
>>150688963>open a can of wormsOldest trick in the book. Only difference is he did it and got caught.
>>150689117What kind of worms?
>>150689086Paid all the players under the table and cheated the salary cap
>>150688963>innocent and got scammedWhat does that look like? Did he click on a phishing link that took 30 mil from his bank account and created a shell company whose singular purpose was to send said money to one of his current employees and then dissolve?I will say it's more believable than a lot of those "I got hacked" excuses we've heard from athletes
>Ballmer's mother is Jewish.[16]
>>150688963>BallmerSo I have a Ballmer story>be me>live in Yarrow Point WA>tiny town east of Seattle, lots of waterfront property, lots of money>Ballmer used to live in Hunts Point, next town over>no businesses in Yarrow Point>across the street is Clyde Hill>Clyde Hill has 2 businesses: gas station and a coffee shop>I'm friends w/ barristas at coffee place>somehow Ballmer comes up>barrista: "he's an asshole, always on his phone, rude, doesn't tip, and impatient"
>>150691525>doesn't tip Based
Now there are reports he used the scam company to up the price for Intuit for the stadium naming rights. If I was Intuit I'd get the hell out of that deal. You don't want your brand associated with this guy
Cheating and still losing, The Clippers are cursed by the basketball gods>>150688963Imagine being more of a disgrace to the NBA than Donald Sterling, new arena or not, he needs to sell the team today.
>>150691789Yeah I'm pretty sure cheating and screwing the owners out of money is worse than telling a prostitute not to hang out with black guys
>>150689086I'm so proud of my boy Stevie. He started off /g/ and has ascended to /sp/.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMU0tzLwhbE
>>150691669Hey, I'm the chairman of the board of Intuit. Thanks for the heads up, anon. I'll purse that.
>>150691027Every time.
>>150688963Truth is he wont face any serious ramifications under Silver as Silver is covert and likes to make sure things go away neatly, he doesnt do scandals. Even though the NBA has punished teams harshly for events like this in the past, Minnesota got fined, took away draft picks and voided contracts when they illegally signed Joe Smith during the lockout season. Ballmer could easily tank the fine but Clippers dont even have any draft picks after the Paul George deal and taking even more assets away would completely tank the franchise for the rest of the decade. Ballmer would be forced to sell. And after they built that new stadium only Ballmer could afford? The clippers would have to rebrand and move to another city. Silver would never let that happen
>>150692850>The clippers would have to rebrand and move to another cityThe entirety of Southern California would help them move. We don't want them
>>150689086"invested" $50m in a bogus tree planting company of which $48m got paid to kawhi leonard through a sponsorship deal he fulfilled zero obligations for. a pretty clear circumvention of the salary cap. ESPN also exposed themselves by running damage control for everything
ESPN has to protect their product. If this shit blows up the NBA is pretty much done for as a legitimate sporting entity. It is already on life support
>>150688963Silver is spineless>>150689086paying players under the table to circumvent salary cap
>>150695130gil's arena has been dry snitching on the league doing this for a long time.
>>150688963Literally who? Cocaine is awesome though what a drug and time to be alive.
Donald Sterling was the good guy
>>150696481
>>150696619
>>150692087I think he said a little more than that anon but yeah
>>150697034That's actually exactly what he told her
>>150694966God what a shit team but what a great arena. It'd be nice if they left and the Lakers just had two arenas. One for Western teams and other for Eastern maybe.
>>150697581Fuck that arena. They stole all your information and selling it to Israel to blackmail you

>>150688963>>150692850The NBA and the owners love Steve Ballmer. Him paying $2B for the Clippers elevated franchise values by 72% (!) on average. Before him only 3 NBA teams exceeded the $1B evaluation. After he got approved? 11, with the top 3 going above $2B as well. He also paid hundreds of millions of dollars in the form of luxury tax over the years, which got split evenly between the league itself and the team owners who didn't pay the tax that season. In other words his mere presence means lining the pockets of the league and his fellow owners. Then you have the man building a brand new, state-of-art arena for the team without any noteworthy public funding. All this without winning a damn thing. What's not to love? The Sterling situation was a slam dunk for a new Commissioner and Silver still didn't force him to sell the team, his fellow owners did when they unanimously voted for the termination of contract. There's zero percent Ballmer gets the same treatment. Especially that he's one of the most popular owners while Sterling was constantly the opposite. We also know by now who Silver really is, the league's tools are limited in terms of punishment and then you have the technical difficulties of proving intent and involvement. Money can't faze Ballmer as he's more wealthy than the other owners combined, and you can't make the Clippers give up draft picks or anything like that without burying the franchise for a decade. Everything points to a slap on the wrist.>>150696685You know remember the visor.

It is being reported that Kawhi wanted a piece of the Maple Leafs. He told the Raptors he wanted no show jobs. I mean I get not wanting to work but all his stupid ass had to do was show up and take pictures in his uniform. What a dumbass
>>150695130Doesn't the GSW owners do this with their venture funds?
>>150699873>He also paid hundreds of millions of dollars in the form of luxury tax over the yearsmy brother in christ, he DODGED paying luxury tax by doing this and the owners are pissed about it if you would follow any of the reporting around the story
>>150713014This is the first time he has been caught since the illegal DeAndre Jordan shady sponsorship deal. Imagine what else he has been doing illegally
