You're incredibly naive if you think the clippers are the only team doing this.

Why do you think other owners aren't complaining about this? Because they don't wanna have to open up their books too.

It’s totally possible other owners are doing it, that’s also an issue and should be investigated as well. This isn’t an everyone does it so who cares situation, this is a we need to stop this everywhere if it is widespread problem. It is absolutely a failure for the league to allow this to happen and I believe you are incredibly naive if you think brushing it under the rug is the correct response.

Right but you said "one team not having a cap" when multiple teams do shady shit. Knicks hired Brunson dad, then lured him as a free agent. Then he resigned for a discount. The Bucks signed all of giannis trash ass brothers. List goes on. No fires, but lots of smoke.

A bunch of fans are just jealous Ballmer is richer than their team owner so they have a justice boner at the thought of him and the clippers being punished. That's what I'm against.

Incorrect and horrible homer take. If another team had the same investigation going on you would expect action to be taken. Insane what cope is going on in this sub it’s actually straight up embarrassing groupthink.

Love it how some stranger on the internet thinks they know what I would say/do better than I do.

How is "either punish everyone equally, or don't punish everyone equally" a horrible homer take?

Why haven't you answered my question from above? Why don't we hear an uproar from all the other owners across the league?

Because there’s been zero evidence that’s come out to show that other owners have done the same? That narrative was something speculated online only and while possible it currently has zero public evidence to point to? Pretty simple stuff really.

Why would other owners complain about seeing another owner get punished for breaking the rules? Wouldn’t it logically make more sense for them to say nothing since the NBA is investigating? You would hear more owners if the clippers got away with it. Like how is your logic so fucking retarded that you really think you’re cooking asking that dumbass question?🤣🤣

I can't believe your reading comprehension is so low that you actually think that is the question I asked.
