Brian Windhorst with an update about the Kawhi Leonard situation:

“This situation is not hard to understand. I don’t need FBI training to
understand what a kickback is. The thing that comes along with this is, some
other outlets as well as the athletic have reported that the league was
looking at a 2nd deal involving Kawhi. And the trade to Toronto was slowed
down. The other thing that’s interesting to me is Daktronics didn’t come
out with a statement that completely denied this whatsoever. They had a
crisis PR man say something like Kawhi is not under contract right now. It
was not a full denial. This to me is extraordinarily troubling. The lack of
response for days on end. Maybe something changed in the next 12 hours, but
this does not look like a full denial to me.”

@WindhorstESPN Things are getting crazy.



Brian Windhorst:I completely get. Let me say this situation is not hard to
understand. At least the concept. Because what Pablo is laying out is the
appearance of a kickback. I can figure out a kickback very easily. I do not
have to have FBI training or be an Assistant US Attorney to understand the
concept of a kickback. That is not directly what Pablo is alleging here, but
that is the scenario that he has laid out.


 Pablo 在這裡直接指控的事，但這確實是他所描繪出的情境。

And the thing that comes along with this is that some other outlets,
including The Athletic, have reported that the league was looking at a second
deal with involving Kawhi, and the trade to Toronto was slowed down.

而隨之而來的是，其他一些媒體（包括《The Athletic》）報導稱，聯盟正在調查涉及
 Kawhi 的第二份協議，且前往 Toronto 的交易也因此被拖延了。




And the other thing that I think is very interesting to me is Daktronics did
not come out with a statement on Thursday, or Friday, or Saturday, or Sunday.
We'll see what the new week brings, that completely denied this whatsoever.
They had a crisis PR, an outside public relations specialist say something
like, "Well, Kawhi is under contract with Daktronics right now." It was not a
full-throated denial.



And so lots of haze here. The Clippers didn't comment, but Slater, this to me
is extraordinarily troubling. And is now, the lack of response for days on
end here, because remember, the Clippers, when the Aspiration thing came out,
within a day or two, Steve Ballmer was in Bristol, Connecticut talking to and
denying to Ramona, Ramona Shelburne, our colleague.






所以這裡面有許多疑雲。Clippers 沒有回應，但 Slater，這在我看來是非常令人不安的
。而現在好幾天過去了卻完全沒有正面回應，因為別忘了，Clippers 當初在
 Aspiration 的事情爆出時，不出一兩天，Steve Ballmer 就到了康乃狄克州的 Bristol
，向我們的同事 Ramona Shelburne 進行澄清與否認。

And look, maybe we're in the summer, people are away, the story may change in
the next 12 hours. I'm not seeing full-throated denials. This one looks a
little different to me.

你看，也許現在是夏天，大家都在休假，這件事可能在未來 12 小時內有所轉變。但我目
前沒看到任何立場堅定的否認聲明，這次的情況在我看來有點不太一樣。

Tim MacMahon:Yeah, look, salary cap circumvention theoretically has 29
victims, right? 29 teams. It's, but if we look back, you know, when a lot of
this stuff is perceived...







是的，你看，規避薪資上限理論上有 29 個受害者，對吧？也就是其他 29 支球隊。但是
，如果我們回頭看，你知道，當很多這類事情被察覺時……


心得：

大家都在看
阿銀你硬得起來嗎
