• Report: Clippers skirted cap with Kawhi payment

The LA Clippers and team owner Steve Ballmer reportedly have been accused of circumventing the NBA's salary cap by paying $28 million to Kawhi Leonard for a "no-show job."

Pablo Torre, a podcaster and former ESPN contributor, reported Wednesday that the Clippers paid Leonard through a now-bankrupt company owned by Ballmer.

NBA spokesman Mike Bass said in a statement later Wednesday that the league is "aware of this morning's media report regarding the LA Clippers and [is] commencing an investigation."

This is pretty funny.

You used to hear about this thing in the NCAA. But on a much SMALLER scale.

I was a HS team-mate with a stud LB that played for Michigan. A Michigan alum would set him up with a very cushy summer job. Something like riding around on a lawn-mower for a couple hours. Couldn't make it today? No problem.

That job might pay $6,000 for the summer. $28Mill? LOL, what a joke.
