As if these guys don’t get paid enough, and yet Kawhi still wants a side hustle? Greed beyond words.

This is horrible reporting!!! Clearly he did not listen to the full breakdown. Kawhi didn’t get all his money from Aspiration and they ain’t even come close to discussing Balmers involvement. I get it, yall are protecting the NBA or y’all really don’t care.

Crazy hypocrisy…Sneaker companies have been rewarding players for being on big market teams like Lakers for ages. Then you had teams in lower tax staates …it’s never been a level playing field in regards to money off the court.

Everyone’s pointing the finger at the clippers but Kawhi cosigned on all those deals. Kick him out of the league.

Balmer has more money than God and a team of attorneys, he will not go quietly. Arbitration… this is gonna get really nasty for the NBA.

If he wants to do Kawhi, then go cover the hundreds of professional athletes that does the exact same thing! Who cares if he’s getting hush money on the side, horrible story
