The Clippers Years Are Not Good! Xiao Ka is investigated for suspected Yin-Yang contracts, Harden s Restaurant is closed for owing 2.2 million yuan

On September 4, although there are not many big-name stars in the NBA this offseason, many things have been reported off the court, which has made everyone suck. For example, Beasley was investigated for suspected betting on football. As a result, the investigation has ended and he has made his innocence restored, but the big contract has disappeared. Morris was arrested for suspected fraud by using a blank check for loans and even went to court. He finally paid back the money before he could settle the matter.

And today, the US media broke another big news. According to TA reporter Pablo in a podcast, there is a yin and yang contract between Leonard and the team boss Ballmer to evade the salary cap. It is understood that NBA management has doubted why Ballmer and the Clippers were able to sign Leonard, the most valuable player in the free market, but at the time the league investigation did not find Ballmer attracted by additional benefits, but in March this year, a carbon neutral company declared bankruptcy, putting some clues on the surface.

It is understood that in the documents filed for bankruptcy, the list of creditors is listed, the largest creditor is Ballmer, and the second one is Ballmer's Forum Entertainment Company, and a small company tied for third, and the registered manager of this company is Leonard. In September 21, Ballmer provided $50 million in funding, weeks later, the Clippers and the company reached a 23-year sponsorship agreement, and in April 22, Leonard signed a 28 million endorsement contract with the company.

, and it is understood that the company provides Leonard with a contract of $7 million every year, and the company's financial executive also said in an interview that he did not understand why the company gave such a contract at the time. The answer he received was: Don't ask if you have any questions, this is to avoid the salary cap. Moreover, this agreement stipulates that Leonard must stay in the Clippers to get the entire 28 million yuan, and cannot change teams or retire. Leonard's designated representative is his uncle.

There really seems to be something tricky here. In 21, Leonard signed a four-year, 176 million contract extension with the Clippers. At that time, he signed this contract for the Clippers. Because if Leonard signed a 1+1 contract in 21, he could sign 82 million for 2 years. In the case of player option in the second year, Leonard jumped out of the contract in the second year. With bird rights, he could seek a five-year, 240 million contract extension, but he did not do so.

Because Leonard chose this friendly "signing", it also makes the Clippers' salary space more flexible. Everyone knows this player Leonard, who is famous for his uncle, is famous for his money. He asked for a private plane with the Raptors and asked for an endorsement contract of over 15 million off-field, so he stayed at the team. As a result, it was difficult for the Raptors to stay. A private plane lasted hundreds of millions. In the end, the Raptors had no choice but to give up on him. If the Clippers really gave up the Yin-Yang contract, Ballmer was rich and he could meet Leonard's needs, which seemed reasonable.

Regarding this matter, the Clippers officially issued a statement saying: Mr. Ballmer and the Clippers have never evaded the salary cap or engaged in any improper behavior through this carbon neutral company. The company failed to fulfill its obligations. Before the previous investigation, Mr. Ballmer was not aware of the company's improper behavior. The team and Mr. Ballmer were ready to assist relevant departments in their investigations at any time. It seems that the Clippers do not want to admit it. I don't know whether this matter is true or false, it depends on their next investigation.

But as a normal and logical person, unless this reporter lied about these details, if his revelations are true, I think the possibility of Leonard's Yin-Yang contract is 90%, because all this seems too obvious. Moreover, according to the reporter, Leonard's four-year, 28 million advertising contract is more than all the celebrity endorsements of this company. The key is that it is a bit ruthless when it breaks out at this point in time.

Because the Clippers finally have some hope. If the team is severely punished because of this incident, it will cause the management to be hindered from operations next season. In addition, Harden has also had troubles. According to the Houston Chronicle, Harden's restaurant in Houston has now been closed due to arrears of $2.2 million in rent and other rental payments. A notice was posted on the restaurant's door: Because the rent has not been paid, they have changed the door lock. If the rent can be paid, they can go to the management office to collect the keys.

The rent is so expensive, it is understandable that Harden gave up. The reason why this restaurant went bankrupt was because the timing was inappropriate. At that time, Harden and the Rockets were having a quarrel, and Harden eventually went to the Nets, which also completely disappointed many Rockets fans and began to ignore his business, which may have led to bankruptcy. The Clippers are not doing well in the passing of the year. Having said that, what do you want to say about Leonard? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
