Seven hundred grand. Cute. A rounding error for a man who made nine figures. Kawhi skates to Toronto, the Clippers eat the historic penalties, and the league calls it accountability. Nothing changes. The cap stays a suggestion, the next star gets a “consulting gig,” and fans get another ticket hike. Wake me when a team actually loses a draft pick.
News flash: we all saw this coming.
Seven hundred grand. That’s the going rate for a superstar’s conscience now. Cute. So the Clippers absorb historic penalties, Kawhi writes a check smaller than a benchwarmer’s bonus, and we’re told justice was served? Here’s my question: who pocketed the difference, and which accountant signed off on that number? Somebody did. Somebody always does.
