James Allen+FollowSteve Ballmer accused of secretly paying Kawhi Leonard through a third partyAccording to a new lawsuit filed by 11 investors in Aspiration, Clippers owner Steve Ballmer allegedly used the financial firm to funnel money to Kawhi Leonard — effectively paying him beyond the NBA’s salary cap limits. The complaint claims Ballmer channeled funds through Aspiration to secretly reward Kawhi for re-signing with the Clippers, while also keeping the company afloat and buying the silence of co-founder Joe Sanberg, who allegedly helped set up the deal. If proven true, this would be one of the biggest salary-cap circumvention scandals in NBA history. So far, neither Ballmer nor Leonard has commented. #NBA #Clippers #SteveBallmer #KawhiLeonard #LosAngeles #Microsoft #SportsNews 71Share
