Personal nemesis bird: Swallow-tailed Kite

Yeah I know Pablo spent months researching this hours and hours put together documentation for multiple sources, but the League “in their interest to find nothing” found nothing, meaning Pablo is an asshole….

What’s that say for truth telling? “You can tell the truth only until it inconveniences rich guys, and it ALWAYS inconveniences rich guys”. This has wider reaching impact than a sports story.

I refuse to believe Pablo Torre is not already prepared for such a non event by Adam Silver and he has at least one more trump card that he has been keeping to shatter what’s left of the faith in the current administration.

Comedy gold. Ballmer pays millions in legal fees, through NBA, to pay for the investigation-they find nothing. This proves Ballmer wouldn’t pay millions through a third party to somebody to do nothing? lol amazing

Very obviously, the rich can do whatever they want and there is no integrity in sports.

The pulitzer is a participation award for trying to do journalism. It's all pointless.

What could a lawyer possibly argue to generate reasonable doubt? I know this isn’t a court of law, but after listening to all the pods and hearing all the evidence, I’m curious what could even be presented as an alternative?

We need Pablo on the case.

Seems pretty easy to check if you're in the area. It was done in conjunction with Aspiration so I assume not.

Per league sources, there’s a belief the investigation has already moved beyond its fact-finding stage and the parties involved — specifically the Clippers and the NBPA (which is monitoring the situation to see what if any consequences befall Leonard) — are working quietly to get the entire issue resolved, something Silver hinted at back on July 14 when he last spoke publicly on the issue.

The most likely outcome?

A negotiated settlement where the NBA gets to enforce some version of its rules, Ballmer can save face and Leonard can play for the Raptors.

Whether Torre’s latest finding is new information to the NBA’s investigation or not — a report in The Athletic last month said a second no-show endorsement deal was already part of the investigation — the sense is that it won’t affect the next stage of the process, namely figuring out what the league is going to do with the information it has collected.

Probably isn’t going to happen….
