Public enemy! NBA shareholders request a thorough investigation, Xiao Hua has met with Ballmer, and Xiao Ka has not yet appeared

On September 5, the scandal of the NBA Clippers signing a yin-yang contract with Leonard continued to be exposed. Today, there was another set of evidence. Aspiration, a shadow company led by Ballmer, not only gave Leonard a 4-year, 28 million false endorsement contract, but also gave him $20 million worth of stock. In this way, another case of indirect evidence is added, and it is only a matter of time before the yin and yang contract between the Clippers and Leonard is confirmed. Now the entire league is furious. Except for the league officials, the other 29 teams and the representatives of the investor are deeply angry about this.

Yin-Yang contracts are strictly prohibited. In fact, in the final analysis, they are afraid that fairness will be destroyed. Although the NBA is becoming more and more fake, the fairness on the surface still needs to be maintained. The NBA's salary cap and luxury tax rules are actually to curb wealthy bosses to "buy" the champion through strong financial resources, thus achieving relatively fairness, because after exceeding the hard salary cap, luxury tax increases exponentially, and no matter how rich and powerful it is, it cannot compete with the "extreme" luxury tax. Yin-Yang contracts are essentially tax avoidance, or to put it bluntly, they are tax evasion.

The tax evasion in the United States is severing. Although it is a business alliance, it is a high-income alliance and the rules are very complete, and everyone must follow it. After the Yin-Yang contract between the Timberwolves and Joe Smith was exposed, the Timberwolves were fined for the next 10 years and could not turn around. Then NBA president Stern made it clear that this was a red line and no one could cross it. Now, twenty years later, such a scandal has occurred in the NBA again. Everyone is paying attention to what will happen to the current president Xiao Hua.

According to NBA famous reporter Zach Lowe, the league is currently paying special attention to this matter. An anonymous NBA shareholder representative said that the matter must be investigated strictly. If the evidence is conclusive, it must be severely punished. It cannot be exempted from punishment or given a lighter punishment just because Ballmer has a net worth of 155.2 billion, because this matter involves the image of the league and also affects the vital interests of the other 29 teams. At the same time, the shareholder representative also said that the capital is also preparing for a meeting to hold an in-depth discussion on the matter and whether it is necessary to urge Ballmer to sell the Clippers. After such a big thing was exposed, Clippers boss Ballmer couldn't sit still. According to the latest report by TA reporter Pablo Torre, the league president Xiao Hua has met with Ballmer. At 8:00 on September 4th local time, Ballmer and senior Clippers met with league executives at a local high-end restaurant in Los Angeles, including NBA president Adam Xiaohua. Since the meeting was held secretly, it is not clear what discussions the two sides have had. Pablo Torre also said that everyone is very concerned about Leonard's situation, but so far, Leonard has only released a rumor-defusing update through the team, and he has not shown up yet.
