Last September, Pablo Torre sent a shockwave through the NBA when he reported on his podcast, Pablo Torre Finds Out, that the Los Angeles Clippers and Kawhi Leonard attempted to circumvent the salary cap by funneling money to Leonard through Aspiration, an environmental company and team sponsor. Since then Torre has dropped seven more episodes that strengthen the links between Aspiration and Clippers owner Steve Ballmer. His reporting sparked a league-ordered independent investigation into the Clippers which could result in devastating punishments for both Ballmer and the organization.
With NBA commissioner Adam Silver expected to address the investigation—and do it from the Ballmer-owned Intuit Dome no less—I asked Torre to join me on the Open Floor podcast for a little State of the Investigation.
