Pablo Torre has been in his JORDAN ERA ever since Bill Simmons criticized his reporting on Bill Belichick’s relationship with Jordan Hudson, describing it as “gutter journalism”!

There was a smart guy who said : “500 dollars? Fully subsidized? With a plan? I said that is the most expensive phone in the world. And it doesn’t appeal to business customers because it doesn’t have a keyboard. Which makes it not a very good email machine.”

Ballmer is lying his teeth out. How did he not know? He invested $50 million. How could he have not known where his investment money was spent? Ballmer may not have gotten his hands dirty because he wasn’t the one that gave out the check but I’m sure he had a major part in it.

I’m not mad at Kawhi for securing the bag, but people should be mad at Ballmer for breaking the rules. The evidence is pretty damning.

So JP Morgan Jamie Dimon being duped for $6B also. These things happen in business. 28M to a person who was CEO of a major Fortune 500 isn’t really on his radar. That’s more so on his investment team that made the mistake.

The way I’m reading this situation is kawhi management (his uncle) most likely had this idea and gave balmer an ultimatum and balmer caved to keep kawhi in La

Pffft, SAS looks neutered talking about this.
ESPN is literally doing damage control for the league and Balmer.
None of yall are real journalists – it’s a fact that he did this, it’s not opinion.
