That is the 53 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: hottest story going. And you and I were doing our 54 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: Patreon show earlier today as it was developing this Pablo 55 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: Tory man and he closed the book on Belichick and 56 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: jeorde On Hudson. He's like, ooh, my next fascination is 57 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard and Balmer. Well, he's doing some reporting, right, 58 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: but her to lean into certain things pretty hard, the 59 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: jeorde Don Hudson thing, the Belichick thing. You referenced that 60 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: who was on that harder than him? Now he's unveiled 61 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: this Kawhi Leonard story where he reportedly was paid twenty 62 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: eight million dollars for a no show job. That's the headline. 63 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: You're like, what does that mean? A no show job 64 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: with the Clippers. Didn't ren don't get that same contract 65 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: with the Angels. Yeah, but it was de Yeah wow. 66 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: But this was a way to get around the NBA 67 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: salary cap. Now we're gonna make this clear. We might 68 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: use the word loophole, but it wasn't a loophole at all. 69 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: This is not legal in the NBA. It's not like 70 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 1: some crafty way to get paid. It's not like deferring 71 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: your payment like sho heyo tani. This is not like 72 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: a college donor decided to do something nice, right right. 73 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 3: No, there's a fine of up to four point five 74 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 3: million dollars for a first offense. 75 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: This was a way to circumvent. That's the fancy word 76 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: to go around the NBA salary cap. You wrote that 77 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: word down because Big MIC's at it, because I wrote 78 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: it down to I got to hear in the articles 79 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: all over the place, guys, it's circumventing. Tory laid out 80 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: the alleged scandal. Scandal. Isn't that your old hairdresser? Yeah, scandal. 81 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: Gandle used to have rich a nice feathered haircut. He 82 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: laid out to Scandal on his program Toilet Find. Scandle 83 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: and it says that he has direct quotes from legal 84 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: documents that made the argument that Leonard was paid twenty 85 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: eight million through a company owned by Bamber, who owns 86 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: the Clippers. If you don't know, to essentially do nothing. Now, 87 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: that's a pretty sweet deal, except it's not allowed in 88 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: the NBA. Bomber's accused of using the agreement as a 89 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: way to pay Leonard more than his contract would allow, which, 90 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: if true, is a violation of the NBA rules. Now 91 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: my understanding is it was for some like made up 92 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: bunk company where Kahi Leonard never didate like a tree. 93 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: Plant, tree plant, tree planting. 94 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: You tell me you couldn't get Kawhi in front of 95 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: a green screen just to say one time, like, hey 96 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: it's me Kawhi Leonard. So it was planning the street 97 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: follow right, like, hey, there's a salary cap in the NBA. 98 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: But look, I want Kawhi Leonard so bad. I'm gonna 99 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: figure out a way to get him on the team. 100 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: Give him as much money as possible, but pay him 101 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: an extra twenty eight million dollars to solidify his time 102 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: and place with the Clippers through a company that doesn't 103 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: even really matter or exists, and the ramification was if 104 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: he's only on the clippers, right, and Pablotry's all over this, 105 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: and like Danny g just said, if this is true, 106 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: major finds suspensions like that's. 107 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 3: Not a lass of one first round pick and the 108 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 3: possibility of avoiding contracts that are involved in any circumvention. 109 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: How do you view this? Do you view this as, Hey, 110 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: he's just a rule breaker. Good for him, he got 111 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: what he wanted. Hey, there's a few draft picks. He's 112 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: still got Kawhi. How do you view something like this? 113 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: There's two types of people, Oh, players and haters.

I believe that 129 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: there's a set of rules in play to keep idiots 130 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: in line. I may like Steve Mom, I'm gonna push 131 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: the rules until you tell me why. Pushing the rules 132 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: is not rule breaking.

So I ask you, when someone's caught, athlete, musician, politician, 167 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, do you admire the forthright, like, hey, 168 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: I tried to get away with it and I got caught. 169 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: Or do you think Balmer Kawhi are gonna try to 170 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 1: be es their way out of this and make us 171 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: feel stupid. It's it's case by case, man, because speaking 172 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: to documentaries, if you watch America's team, Jerry Jones seemed 173 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: to break all the rules in the NFL, but he 174 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: just paved a new path. He's like, yeah, rules are 175 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: for fools. Watch me show everybody how to make real 176 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: money in this league. And he changed the league forever. 177 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 2: The short sighted. 178 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: People were very short sighted. He's like, I'm a businessman. 179 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: He changed how the game worked and how they made money. 180 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: He changed the league. 181 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 2: This is different than that. 182 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: It is it is, but he did break the rules. 183 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. It's case by case. That 184 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: was for the greater good of everybody. It seemed to 185 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: benefit everybody. I don't see how this benefits anyone but 186 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard and his pocket. It's not even benefiting the Clippers. 187 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: They're not winning with him. You know, he's not even 188 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: playing all that often. And if they really wanted to 189 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: create a loophole, rich is right, where was Kawhi with 190 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: his fake bootleg local feeling advertisement of Kawhi Leonard? And 191 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: these are the trees that I'm playing. 192 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 2: More attention to it. 193 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: And there should be something in his back pocket. We're like, no, 194 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: here he is, we have the proof right here, he's 195 00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: a spokesman. 196 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 3: They got to Yeah, but once they found out Bomber 197 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 3: owned that supposed company. 198 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 1: I wonder what tipped off Pablo Tory to like further 199 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: investigate this. Oh, it was the janitor from Billy Madison. Yeah. Now, seriously, 200 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: someone had to have a scoop and they fed him 201 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: this scoop. Unless he just somehow came across these documents 202 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: or he had a hunch, I don't know. Good for him, though, 203 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: it's a it's a big story. Is becoming the uh 204 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: Ernie anstis now there's a lack of actual investigative reporting 205 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: in today's world, right, So you got to give him 206 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: credit for that. And as the story develops, it may 207 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: benefit the NBA in the future because if anyone else 208 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: is up to this, it'll put a stop. I'm sure 209 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people shaking in their boots right now, like, 210 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: oh man, I hope I'm not next, because maybe he's 211 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: just the first of many. I don't know that. 212 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,239 Speaker 2: The fake company, by the way, is called Aspiration. 213 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: Oh it's beautiful. 214 00:10:58,720 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 3: You know. 215 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: I'm an ass operation. I'm with these bids. I grab 216 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: a lot of ass butirations. I'm always fascinated. But trees, 217 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: I'm always fascinated how we tend to give more credit 218 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: to people than they deserve. Sometimes, like Cavino, you always say, 219 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: your dad will say things like, yeah, I heard on 220 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: the radio, gotta be true, and you're like, Dad, I'm 221 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: on the radio. He still does that, Yeah, I heard 222 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: it on the radio, Dad. Again, Baffoon's like me, are 223 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: on the radio, guys, no more credible than your goofy son. 224 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: And I think it's interesting. Sometimes there's an investigation and 225 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 1: you're like, was it really a good investigation if they 226 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: never got to the bottom of it. I always think 227 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: about Mantiteo and how until one reporter or so decided, like, 228 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: you know, let me even look this kokooy girl up. 229 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: He ran with that, and everyone just sort of kooy 230 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: he wasn't the Boogeyman. Wasn't it a liney kokooi or 231 00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: something that is that the name? No, when they. 232 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 4: And he didn't know at first and then he found out, 233 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 4: he just didn't. 234 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: I always felt so bad for Mantitao. He feels like 235 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: just a really genuine guy that couldn't believe someone would 236 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: trick him. But there was a time period where it's like, Wow, 237 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: if anyone did any investigating at all, this would have 238 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: blown up way sooner. But it seems like that's a 239 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: weird story to really press and investigate, even though it 240 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: became a big story, right, Like someone had to really 241 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: have a what's the expression? Give me another expression besides 242 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: besides the one I I keep I keep wanting to say, 243 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,719 Speaker 1: they got a real blank on for that real, real, 244 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: real stiffy, No, a real hankering. No, they got a real, real, 245 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: real joy, a real joy of getting to the bottom 246 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: of this. This one is like it's cheating kind of right, 247 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: It's it's just kind of Is that how you look 248 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: at it, is that that's just cheating. It's not kind 249 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: of It's not like, yo, did I cheat? I kept 250 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: my socks on. And the more you find out too, 251 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: it says here. Tory's investigation also uncovered that Leonard was 252 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: supposed to be paid seven million by Aspire, the company 253 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: that lists Leonard as its manager. Damn manager of what 254 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: he manages? Manager? What is he? Bobby? The brain? Heenon? 255 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: So I think that's the difference here, Like, Yeah, we 256 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: see a lot of these random stories uncovered. I don't 257 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,599 Speaker 1: know the motive behind a lot of these stories, just 258 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: I guess investigative journalism and breaking a story is fun 259 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: in that world and in that game. But this is 260 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: just straight up cheating. This is the NBA. You know, 261 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: you have to nip it in the butt. This is 262 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: one of importance and significance, and man, I bet your 263 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard is playing real dumb right now. Here's a 264 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: guy who never talks as it is, He's definitely keeping 265 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: his mouth shut about this. I'll be honest. My instinct 266 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: is like, who cares to go that deep into But 267 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: you know when people do, I'm always fascinated, I'll be honest. 268 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: The documentary is the stories breaking You're great, I less not. 269 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: I watched the one you guys recommended about the Catfish 270 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,719 Speaker 1: Unknown Number No Number, The High School Cat fishing, you 271 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: gotta start thinking if no one really dove into it, 272 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: you would never find out. And then when you do 273 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: find out, you're like, man, people are wild. Now, Kawhi 274 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: has been a clipper for years now. So if Papoulotry 275 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: or someone didn't say this seems a little odd, wait, 276 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: don't dig a little deeper it. You know what? It 277 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: also reminds me too rich, like how would I got 278 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: to wait? Yeah, what you could find if you're digging 279 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: deep enough. You know. And now I'm not saying everyone 280 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: has skeletons, but as my as my dad always said, 281 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: you know, if you're looking, if you look hard enough, 282 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: you'll find something on everybody. Yeah, you know. It's then 283 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: you wonder where I keep my phone private, because if 284 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: you look far enough, you'll probably see something that's a 285 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: little sketchy. You know what. The crazy part is someone 286 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: runs for office. 287 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 2: It could be. 288 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: A local politician or big time you know, national figure. 289 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: They have done stuff in their past that would never 290 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: have even been touched. But the minute you're under the microscope, 291 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: someone is there waiting to try to find some dirt 292 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: on you. Yeah, and Danny G's right. The difference here 293 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: and these other salacious stories that we're bringing up is 294 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: that this is actually cheating in the NBA. This is 295 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: doing everything you can because you're a rich guy with 296 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: deep pockets to get that superstar you had your eye on, 297 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: and you thought you found a loophole. But it's not 298 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: a loophole. You just went around the salary cap, which 299 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: is not legal in the NBA, and you just cheated. 300 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: So I honestly, I think repercussions should be stronger than that. 301 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: Danny g to set a precedence, dare I say, and 302 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: I'm not a again I said, I'm not a big 303 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: rules guy, but I think this is if this is true, 304 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: and it's straight up a careless I even feel, you 305 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: know what, I'm the first of many, you know what, 306 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: I'm insulted by it. I think Bomber's the only guy 307 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: who's used to getting what he wants find a way 308 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: by how simplistic it is, like really like a half 309 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: made up tree company twenty eight million dollars, like try harder, 310 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: convince me more, make a to make them the spokesperson 311 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: like spire. It just seems like it seems so half 312 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: fast done that I almost feel like suspensions should be 313 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: in place. 314 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 4: Do you think they got there tried to get it 315 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 4: passed because he's a Clipper. They were like, Okay, we 316 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 4: could do hairstylist or or something with trees. Yeah, just 317 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 4: call them a clipper trees for twenty eight million dollars, 318 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 4: he's the best that there is around and nobody will notice. 319 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: But I just think it was so half fast, Like 320 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: if you were to be like rich, try to hide 321 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: twenty eight million dollars for this player. I feel like 322 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: if you put a team of marketing people in the case, 323 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: they could have easily figured it out to manipulate. They 324 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: could have invested a million dollars to make it look 325 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: completely real and coved and gave it. Got twenty seven 326 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: to clear up. 327 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 3: The two names of the companies because what they did here, 328 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 3: it's two companies funneling money together. So the KL two Aspire, 329 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 3: that's a company that Leonard was supposedly the manager of. 330 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 3: Aspiration is the supposed tree company from Clippers owner Steve Bima. 331 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: Are they even maybe the spelling of the company tipped 332 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: off tory A, SS and IR. 333 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, like the similarities between the names of the two companies. 334 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: To me, guys, I'm even more fascinated by again the 335 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: simple fact that it seems like the effort level put 336 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,719 Speaker 1: in for this cover up because I feel like they 337 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: could be really they could be irs implications, tax implications. 338 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about companies that are sort of 339 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: faking money to a guy like, I'm sure this keeps 340 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: going deeper. 341 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 4: I think their best excuse is that Kawhi was hurt. 342 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 4: That's why he couldn't show up for work like at all. 343 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 4: That's why he did nothing because he was all in 344 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 4: the court actually wanted him to do work, but he 345 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 4: was always hurt and there was nothing that we could 346 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 4: do a tree management. 347 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: Man, so uh, pabulatory and get no Christmas card from 348 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: KWHI Leonard, I can tell you that so interesting story. 349 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: But again, much like like I don't know is a 350 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: random example that just popped in my head when Derrick 351 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: Cole got in trouble for Spider Tank, right, yeah, He's like, look, 352 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 1: hey man, I'm the guy everybody's come and down on. 353 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: But everybody knows that this is what goes on in 354 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: the league. I'm not the only guy. I really believe 355 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: these rich dudes, there's more than one rich dude pulland 356 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: shady moves like this to get who they want. I 357 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 1: bet you there's a lot of other players in these 358 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: situations like, oh, snap, you know it's about to drop. 359 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 3: As you see, it's hard to hide these sort of shenanikis, well. 360 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: I mean they hit it this long. But you're right. 361 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,479 Speaker 1: But I think this is the first of many. So 362 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: I think I think Tory exposed or blew the lid 363 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: on something that's about to explode. 364 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 4: I have a question because if this were the lakers 365 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 4: of the Celtics, I think we'd be losing our mind. 366 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 4: Do we look at the Clippers as they have knots 367 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 4: of always being the Clippers, or do we look at them. 368 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes you know what, it's almost like they can't even 369 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: get this right. 370 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's yeah, that's right, that's pretty Yeah, that's accurate. 371 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: Like these Clippers they can't. They they go out of 372 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: their way, cheat, try to manipulate the system, and they 373 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: still can't even make a playoff front. No, you're right, Dan, 374 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: it does matter who it is, because if it was 375 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: like Oklahoma City or Celtics or the team that's won 376 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: in the past few years, you'd be like, whoa, And 377 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: you know what, look at some stuff, look at football. 378 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: I think if the flight gate is not Tom Brady 379 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: the Patriots, if it was like if Kyler Murray and 380 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: the Cardinals were doing the flate gate, I think they'd 381 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: be like, come on, man, just fixing the ball. Next story, 382 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: like it's it's who does it? And hold on, you're 383 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: right off, You're right right on by the way. As 384 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: far as uh, it can't be the only guy it's 385 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: I doubt it. It's like if you see just guy first, 386 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: you know, when you see some guy getting caught throughing 387 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: some scandal stuff in Vegas or something, you think he's 388 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 1: the only guy. He's just the guy that got caught. 389 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: He's the guy that got caught and they're gonna do 390 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: further investigations now to put a stop to that. It 391 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: is cheating and man, as far as a business man, 392 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,959 Speaker 1: I can't criticize Steve Palmer, right, I'm Steve Cavino barely 393 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: a thousandaire paying chouce support. But to pay twenty eight 394 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: million dollars that dude and extra like, I'm like, why 395 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: why why Kawhi Leonard? He was he was great at 396 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: the time, Quadruple Doink when Jeremy Lynn was still playing 397 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: in the NBA before he retired now six years ago. Cuh. 398 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 3: Why the reason is you think back to the major 399 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,959 Speaker 3: announcement and the uncovering of him finally deciding to go 400 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 3: to the Clippers. So many teams wanted him, and it 401 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 3: came down to the Lakers and the Clippers. 402 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: In retrospect, he got ripped off. Well, that's what I 403 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: think about it. You forget Spurs championship. Wait till the 404 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: Raptors champions Championship. Why hasn't been the scene? And then 405 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: remember it was it was a battle of what LA team? 406 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: You're lucky if he's playing. Bomber got the raw deal here, 407 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,719 Speaker 1: twenty eight million dollars. I got to do nothing. Kawah, 408 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: What was it? 409 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 5: He was supposed to be out planting trees? 410 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: He was. It was just a I can't say loophole 411 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: because it wasn't loophole. Was just straight up wrong. It's 412 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: just breaking the rules. It was just a made up 413 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: thing where they used that as a reason to give 414 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: him twenty eight million extra dollars. Where do trees come 415 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: into play though, Like that's a tree company? 416 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 3: Because yeah, the company that Bomber funded was a tree 417 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 3: planting company. 418 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 5: Let me just say that you'll never find twenty eight 419 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 5: million dollars in a tree planting company. Okay, you get 420 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 5: what you pay for when you hire landscapers and people. 421 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 5: I've worked in that industry, and it's you're not going 422 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 5: to be like, oh, this is a one million dollar tree. 423 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 5: You're playing the trees that cost, you know, a couple 424 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 5: hundred bucks, maybe a thousand US. 425 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: I just had a tree pulled out of my yard, 426 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: an old, dead tree. Yeah, a couple hundred bucks. Yeah, 427 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: it's it's not a lucrative business. It's a hard at 428 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: work business to make. 429 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 2: Tree trimming is lucrative, though. 430 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 3: It's three burial pods to Tory found out that Bomber 431 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 3: funded fifty million dollars into this tree planting company. 432 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: Was money growing on these trees? Apparently? I was even 433 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: trying to be a joke, Sam, You know what, usually 434 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: I mocked your jokes.

Yeah, if he's willing 483 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: to pay over twenty eight million dollars to what's that 484 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: fancy word again, circumvent, circumvent to circumvent the NBA salary cap, 485 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: then he's not willing to pay up a fine to 486 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: get the player he wants. That doesn't mean anything that 487 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: Steve Bomber a fine and a draft pick he got 488 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard.

Like, yeah, fine, we'll pay 491 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: the fun exactly. I think it's probably worth it. And 492 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: that's the business moves of a guy like Steve Bomber, 493 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: so never taking steps ahead. He knows what the repercussions are, 494 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: and he knows that, you know, maybe he could swindle 495 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: his way out of this if the story breaks. For 496 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: all we know he leaked the story. There were times 497 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: where an athlete or a celebrity or people get fined 498 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: for things. Yeah, and the fine is so minuscule that 499 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: they'll do it on purpose to prove a point. Like 500 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: if you if you find someone that makes tens of 501 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: millions of dollars or a billionaire like Bomber, thousands of dollars, 502 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: it's almost laughable. It would be like a slap on 503 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: the wrist. It would be like cheating the lead. It 504 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: would be like finding a regular person like two Bucks 505 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: if you had just joined us. Kawhi Leonard was paid 506 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: as a no show employee or whatever for a tree 507 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: planting company. He was paid twenty eight million dollars and 508 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 1: again to avoid a salary cab just to be a 509 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: part of the Clippers. Bomber wanted him that bad that 510 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: he paid him twenty eight dollars twenty eight million dollars 511 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: on top of his contract where Cavino enriched live from 512 00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: the Fox Sports radio studio. Business fluctuations make running your 513 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: manufacturing business complex, but staffing your business doesn't have to be. 514 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: Let Express employment pros provide the workforce you need. Go 515 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: to expresspros dot com to find the location near you. 516 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,959 Speaker 1: That's expresspros dot com. I'm Steve Cavino. That is Rich Davis, 517 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: Hey Express. I'm looking for a face from my plea 518 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: tree planting company about twenty eight million dollars. Must be nice, 519 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: Must be nice. Steve Bomber on yours one of the 520 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: Clippers said, Dennygs have the Clippers of comment. 521 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 522 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 3: They told the La Times in a statement, neither mister 523 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 3: Bomber nor the Clippers circumvented the salary cap were engaged 524 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:42,479 Speaker 3: in any misconduct related to Aspiration. Any contrary assertion is false. 525 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 3: The team ended its relationship with Aspiration years ago during 526 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 3: the twenty two to twenty three season, when Aspiration defaulted 527 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 3: on its obligations. Follow the money. We're Bohmer's company. Though, 528 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 3: it says this is how this came out. It says 529 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 3: a former Aspiration finance department employee had his voice heard 530 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 3: on Torre's podcast and that's when it started being investigated. 531 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: Okay, so this is a breaking and developing story from 532 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: Pablo Torre's podcast about Kawhi Leonard and Steve Bomber. And again, 533 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 1: it's not something that's allowed in the NBA. So as 534 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: of now, it's all alleged. Let's keep that in mind. 535 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: But well, these are big accusations, you know, and you 536 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: and Danny G were you know, there's got to be 537 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: he said, he saw the documents. You and Danny G 538 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: were having some good conversation off the air. Why don't 539 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: you tell everyone what you guys were talking about. You 540 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: were making some analogies with the sopranos, and I thought 541 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,360 Speaker 1: it was actually a really clever Anellogan. It's really hard 542 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 1: to explain. It was the story of Artie Buco and 543 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: how he called out Tony for sort of sopranoing him 544 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: as a friend, and Tony's like, well, what do you mean. Basically, 545 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: Tony was thinking way ahead of Arti Buco. He's a businessman, 546 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: so he knew that if Arti Buco's restaurant deal fell 547 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 1: through and the money didn't come through, that hey, he 548 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: had Buko in his back pocket and he ate for 549 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: free at his restaurant the rest of his life. The 550 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: point is, Tony Soprano was always thinking a step ahead, 551 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: and we got to give credit to businessman like Steve 552 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: Bomber for always thinking a step ahead. There might be 553 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: a reason that this story came out and there might 554 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: be a reason he did it. And that step ahead is, Hey, 555 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: if I ever get caught, I guess slapped on the wrist, 556 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: who cares? And maybe I get out of this deal 557 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 1: in the NBA unless it's the NBA, winners are not 558 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: built on draft picks. You could argue with me, but 559 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: it's really based on free agency, right, who gets what? 560 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: Big guy? I think Steve Bomber and the Clippers were 561 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: thinking getting Kawi in that moment. Yeah, it didn't work out, 562 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: but think about in that moment when it was like, 563 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: all right, it's us versut the Lakers. How are we 564 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: going to make a splash in Los Angeles? We have 565 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: a new arena coming. The Clippers may have a little 566 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: momentum make it happen at all corts. We need a 567 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: star player. We need to get this done. And the 568 00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: whole tony soprano thing we were talking about off the 569 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,959 Speaker 1: here is people are in that power position for a reason. 570 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: They see the again, not loopholes, They see the ways 571 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: to circumvent. They see the step ahead. They see things 572 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: that you're not thinking about, and they could envision these 573 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: things and how they pan out. If God forbid, things 574 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,719 Speaker 1: go wrong, and Steve Bomber knew probably way in advance 575 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: that this is what would happen, and he was okay 576 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: with that. And you know what, I know, I'm speaking 577 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: of fiction, but think of any movie or drama you watch. 578 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: What do they always do. It's like the plot line 579 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: of everything, follow the money, and they always, you know, 580 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: they'll always call up some you know, foreign accounts or 581 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: something like and it links to a company and that's 582 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: how they find the bad guy. So, I mean, follow 583 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: the money. Steve Bomber's connected. 584 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 3: Shocking by the way that former Aspiration finance department employee 585 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 3: said other celebrities were paid to endorse Aspiration and its 586 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 3: supposed tree planning operation, Robert Downey Junior, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Drake. 587 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 3: He said every other celebrity endorsement, though combined, would have 588 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 3: not met even a quarter of Kawhi Leonard's endorsement. 589 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: Do you think those were done for other things like 590 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: maybe a concert, maybe an appearance, maybe something like dude, 591 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: rich people find ways, and maybe that's his weird way 592 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: of laundering money to people. I mean, that's you know, 593 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: you got to assume that rich people try to stay 594 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,959 Speaker 1: within the legal loopholes and not accusing Bomber or doing 595 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: anything illegal. But hey, man, it's like, if you don't 596 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: think he's thinking a step ahead of guys like you 597 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: and I, you don't become a billionaire by being a Putts. 598 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: That was the point, and the Soprano's analogy was when 599 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: Artie Buco realized, Man, Tony Soprano was just thinking one 600 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: step ahead of me. He realized, well, that's why he's 601 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: Tony Soprano, and this is why he's Steve Bomber. So 602 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's a mafia guy, but I'm saying 603 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: he's a businessman. And whether or not this is true 604 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: or confirmed down the line, it's an interesting story. Doug, 605 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: you're on a Maryland what's up, buddy? 606 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 7: Hey, guys, Yeah, but there's no salary caps for actors. Okay, Yeah, 607 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 7: well this is a quint essential example of ribery. Okay. 608 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 7: And I told Danny g that more than likely because 609 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 7: I'm assuming that the commissioner hasn't completed his investigation yet. 610 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 7: This is this is Daniel Schnyder territory. Okay. I honestly 611 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 7: believe that after everything's done and if this is all true, 612 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 7: then he's going to be forced to sell that team. 613 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, there could be bigger I think repercussions. 614 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 3: Here, and I don't think the NBA would go that far. 615 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: Maybe not that far because he's got deep pockets and 616 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: he's also, like ste is an unlikable guy. Bomber is 617 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: a likable guy. Know this factors. 618 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 4: There's also the point of I think that there's equity, 619 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 4: and we know that the NBA isn't always on the 620 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 4: up and out. But when he bought the Clippers of 621 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 4: the whole that they were in one of them so 622 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 4: bad that he extremely paid way more than market value 623 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 4: so he could get them, but that that name was 624 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 4: so tainted that yeah, this may but there's I don't 625 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 4: think there's any way I would be yon shock me 626 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 4: too if they were to remove. 627 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: You know why, because even though this seems scandalous, Bomber, 628 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: for the most part's reputation is solid right like dance 629 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: to compare to the Dan Snyder who people hated in Washington. 630 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 4: And as you guys have been saying, like they have 631 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 4: penalties in place for this, so it's not like this 632 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 4: is what do we do here? This is unfounded, Like 633 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 4: there are fines for this. There are things that happen 634 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 4: if you violate these sort of things. I don't think 635 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 4: it's enough for removal of team great. 636 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: Thank you for the phone call. Thank you, Dan Byer. 637 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: The numbers eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. That's 638 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: the big story of the day and we'll keep you 639 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: posted as it develops. 640 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 3: You guys do think the penalty should be greater though? 641 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: Definitely was it again? The draft pad up. 642 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 3: To five point five million dollars in fines? I think 643 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 3: it said one first round pick and then you could 644 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 3: they could void the contract that's involved. 645 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: We're talking about dude like billionaires for the most and 646 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: he has to wear croucks for a week. Oh oh, 647 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: need to mention that. Yeah, that's pretty steep. 648 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 4: CBS Sports did an article off of this, and they 649 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 4: pointed to in the mid nineteen nineties, the Knicks were 650 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 4: trying to get Michael Jordan, and we're going to try 651 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 4: to do a sort of deal to give him money 652 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 4: through Sheridan the hotel and pay him that way. Now, 653 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 4: ultimately NBA rules the Bulls could pay him whatever they 654 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 4: wanted to pay him, and could pay more than anybody else. 655 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 4: But that was a way that the Knicks who had 656 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 4: a certain amount of money to pay, we're going to 657 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 4: maybe try to work around Yeah. 658 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, could they have if that was let's say 659 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: it was legit, though, that wouldn't be any breaking of 660 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: the rules. Right if the Knicks were to work a 661 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: deal with the Sheridan, but it really did come from 662 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: the Sheridan, would that be okay if it was just 663 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 1: contingent on him signing with the Knicks. 664 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 4: Well, I think it's I mean, I I don't want 665 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 4: to say we're getting into a gray area, but I thought, yeah, 666 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 4: to the point of I'm just I'm trying to think 667 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 4: of a company that is a Coca Cola in Atlanta. Okay, 668 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 4: let's just say that way, Like if you were to 669 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 4: sign with the Hawks and Coca Cola is like, all right, 670 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 4: we're going to sign you to an endorsement deal. 671 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 2: You know? 672 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 4: Is that Are you like not going to get a 673 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 4: Coca Cola deal if you signed with the Hornets or 674 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 4: is it I just, I just I don't think that 675 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 4: that would necessarily be illegal as opposed to what this 676 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 4: sounds like is just a fraud of a. 677 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:25,399 Speaker 1: Company, because I believe that probably happens all the time. Like, yeah, 678 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,839 Speaker 1: you're going to get this deal, but it's contingent when 679 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: you sign with this this is the city to come to. 680 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,439 Speaker 1: You can get sponsored by the companies that are his Yes, 681 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: and that's something we don't think about that often. And 682 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: this story again is a is a BS tree company. 683 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: Was there any validity to the actual company then, But 684 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: don't realize Michael Parsons has a cheese kurds deal in place. Yeah, yeah, 685 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:49,919 Speaker 1: it's yeah. 686 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 3: That's what people are trying to find out, is if 687 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,879 Speaker 3: there's any validity at all to this tree planting company. 688 00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:01,919 Speaker 3: Tore says he investigated and can't find any evidence that 689 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 3: it was a real thing, this deal with Kawhi. So 690 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 3: that's what we're hearing so far. But I'm sure more 691 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 3: is going to come out in the next few days. 692 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: You know. I don't want to sound like gossipy little schoolgirls, 693 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: but it's an interesting story, really cool, interesting story. We'll 694 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: keep you posted. And that being said, speaking of updates, 695 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: let's go to our guy Dan but it and just. 696 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,280 Speaker 4: Add a little bit more context.

Okay, 698 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 4: so there's where some of that would have been a 699 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 4: little not on the up and up root that, hey, 700 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 4: you know, advertise this Times Square Sheridan if you will, 701 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 4: Michael Jordan anyway.
