Four new players in the Clippers collapse! Xiaoka may be suspended for 82 games, and the owner of the shadow company faces 40 years in prison

On September 4, the Yin-Yang contract incident between the Clippers and Leonard has been continuously paid attention. As of now, the front-line reporters have listed the complete timeline for Leonard and the Clippers to sign the Yin-Yang contract, as well as all participants, the mastermind behind it, etc. The incident is progressing very quickly. The NBA has been aware of the matter and has set up a special investigation team to thoroughly investigate the matter. However, the league's attitude is not as angry as people think, because the reason is simple, Ballmer, who is worth 152.3 billion, is not easy to mess with.

According to reports, in 2021, Leonard renewed his contract below the market price. At that time, he should have signed a 1+1 contract, obtained the Clippers' bird rights in 2022, and signed another 5-year super maximum salary of 242 million yuan. But Leonard directly cut his salary in 2021, signed a contract of 176 million yuan for four years, with a salary cut of US$66 million. Leonard signed a new contract in June, and Ballmer transferred $50 million to Aspiration in August. Then in September, Leonard established the company KL2 Aspire, and then obtained the 4-year 28 million endorsement contract from Aspiration in December, so it can be seen from the timeline alone that there is indeed something strange about this matter.

The most important thing is that in December 2021, Aspiration received a financing of US$315 million, and Ballmer was the leader. After this round of financing, Aspiration's valuation was as high as US$1 billion, claiming to have 5 million users. It even once appeared on Forbes' top 50 financial technology list. A year later, Aspiration planned to go public, with a valuation of US$2.3 billion, but just 47 months later, Aspiration announced bankruptcy. Half a year after bankruptcy liquidation, Aspiration co-founder and board member Joseph Thunberg was charged with fraud, with victims losing up to $248 million, and he currently faces up to 40 years in prison.

It was precisely because of Joseph Thunberg's allegations and the ups and downs of Aspiration that TA's reporter Pablo Torre was confused and attracted his attention. After he digs deep, the Yin-Yang contract incident between Leonard and the Clippers was exposed. Pablo Torre himself also said that he originally thought that such things would be very hidden, but he didn't expect it to be so obvious and the method was so simple. According to the latest labor and capital rules of the league, in black and white, if this matter is confirmed, the Clippers will be severely fined, the future draft picks will be confiscated, the team will be fined 7.5 million, and the players will be fined 350,000. The most important thing is that the remaining two-year and 102 million contracts between Leonard and the Clippers will also be invalidated. Leonard will become a free agent directly and will be suspended for one year, which is 82 games.

The four new players of the Clippers collapsed! Xiaoka may be suspended for 82 games, and the owner of the shadow company faces 40 years in prison! Many people sigh that Harden's life is miserable and Paul's life is miserable. It is indeed a bit metaphysical in it! Originally, the Clippers signed up well this year. They poached Paul, Lopez, Bill, and Collins in the offseason, and Harden's contract has also been renewed for two years. These veterans really have a chance to win the championship. But unfortunately, all of this may become a silence now. Leonard's insatiable greed and Ballmer's thoughts can really change the fate of a group of people, and even change the pattern of the entire alliance.
