If Sterling was forced to sell the team for comments. Balmer should surely have to sell the team for cheating the salary cap and demeaning the financial side of the sport,

If they can connect Balmer on this his team might b gone. Kawhi can be blacklisted and should be.
@JoeyStyles01
August 8, 2026 at 2:44 am
And Kawhi didn’t even shoot an ad for either company to play it off. He STUPID!!!

Plays 10 games outta the season so doesn’t make a difference if you ban him or not.

As if these guys don’t get paid enough, and yet Kawhi still wants a side hustle? Greed beyond words.

Corruption has to be treated the same way as racism. Forced sale.

1 year is not enough. Balmer should be out as owner

@JohnPoloMedia
August 8, 2026 at 2:50 am
This is horrible reporting!!! Clearly he did not listen to the full breakdown. Kawhi didn’t get all his money from Aspiration and they ain’t even come close to discussing Balmers involvement. I get it, yall are protecting the NBA or y’all really don’t care.

According to cba Kawhi can’t be suspended.. His contract can be voided though
