I said from the start that i wouldn't believe anything i heard until he signed or did not sign. $200 million fully guaranteed is just too much to walk away from, and he held out until the details of the deal got better

I'm not surprised that ballmer isn't fighting the nba. I am a little surprised that people read the initial letter and thought he would.

This has been a very difficult time for everybody associated with the Clippers, and for that, I have sincere regrets. I want to apologize to our fans, employees, and my fellow NBA team owners for the distraction and distress this matter has caused, for which I accept responsibility as principal owner.

We are committing to put this chapter behind us. We have communicated to the NBA that we are complying with the penalties assessed by the league, have paid the fine, and are moving forward. While there are still disagreements concerjning the findings in the report, this is not where I want to focus. Team owners should support, not distract.

The challenges ahead of us are significant, but so is our resolve. We will continue to build our team and invest in our community. The confidence of our fans is our priority. With our talented roster, outstanding staff and clear vision, I am certain that we will compete at the highest level and be an organization our fans can be proud of."

That the Clippers did all of that tampering prior to Kawhi's free agency and somehow ended up with so little leverage that they had to give him everything Dennis asked for is just the silliest thing

I can't think of anyone more qualified to write SEC previews than me, a east coast D3 graduate who is a Minnesotan. For Turfman's I wrote two short season previews one for TAMU and one for Georgia. The TAMU one has OUTSTANDING illustrations you're gonna need to pay to see. turfmanindustries.com
