"How Many F*cking Side Deals Have We Made with Kawhi?"
EPISODE 343: Terminating.
Steve Ballmer’s Clippers are hosting NBA All-Star Weekend this Saturday, at the gleaming Intuit Dome, because of course they are.
It’s a bit of hilarious symmetry that I didn’t anticipate, honestly, when I started investigating the story of Aspiration one year ago this month.
Best I can tell: an All-Star host has never simultaneously been investigated by the NBA for allegedly breaking the sport’s cardinal rules. Although whether the league will even acknowledge any of this, this weekend, remains an open question.
And so here is the newest chapter in our own investigation into the richest owner in sports; and his president of basketball; and their superstar player; and that superstar’s uncle; and a cast of characters that continues to grow, eight (!) parts in.
In fact: there’s a new question, at the end of this episode, which I find fascinating.
It involves a potential government whistleblower… and a long-rumored document, which tipped over the first domino of the federal investigation into Aspiration… and if you, out there, have heard anything about any of this… I am all ears.
Because Aspiration is how we started, here at PTFO.
But I suspect that it’s not where this whole story ends.
YOUTUBE SPOILER ALERT:
We’ll Be Back,
Pablo






For this to be released just days before ASW in the Clippers' home arena is diabolical. Superb work by the PTFO Team.
I find this information so interesting, but is it possible to get a transcript, as I seldom listen to videos, but would read the transcripts? I’m not a paying subscriber, so it is a bit of an ask .
