Bleacher report:

Dennis Robertson, the uncle of Kawhi Leonard who is known to be one of his top influencers, reportedly attempted to circumvent the NBA's collective bargaining agreement during free-agency negotiations this summer.
ESPN's Stephen A. Smith said the following on Monday's First Take:
"This is me putting on my reporter's hat here. People in NBA circles are talking about this right now: Allegedly, the uncle, Uncle Dennis, was asking for a lot of stuff from the other teams; houses, planes, sponsorship, guaranteed sponsorship money, just as an example. They're throwing this stuff out there. All of those things are supposedly illegal in the collective bargaining agreement. I have no idea whether this is true or not. I'm not trying to cast any aspersions on Uncle Dennis, but people in NBA circles are talking about this as we speak. Why is that important? Because one could argue the reason why this story is out there right now about the Lakers and the Raptors feeling played wasn't just because of what Uncle Dennis asked for, but they're going to try to turn that around and parlay that into a question about what did the Clippers give up to get Kawhi Leonard. So in other words, you've got teams right now playing games with one another talking about they're trying to point the finger at the Clippers saying, 'let's ask what the Clippers did to get Kawhi Leonard.'

"I'm here to tell you right now, we don't care. We don't care. The bottom line is Kawhi Leonard is with the Los Angeles Clippers. He's not with the Lakers or the Raptors, but I'm telling you right now in the days to come you're going to hear more noise about what Kawhi's camp was asking for, with questions about what the Clippers gave up."
If the Clippers are found to have violated the CBA, they could be subject to a penalty that includes a $3 million fine, a loss of a first-round pick and/or the voiding of Leonard's contract. The most notable example of CBA circumvention was the Minnesota Timberwolves' illegal contractual agreement with Joe Smith, which resulted in the team losing four first-round picks, having Smith's contracts voided and a $3.5 million fine.
This article will be updated to provide more information on this story as it becomes available.

If this is somehow proven to be true, would any of us be surprised? Kawhi and his camp are the most cutthroat and shady dealers in the NBA right now.

Stephen A. is a joke, but so is Uncle Dennis. I wouldn't doubt uncle asked for those things. Jerry West is smart enough, and has been in the game long enough, though, that I doubt he did anything beyond orchestrating the PG trade to satisfy that request...which was extreme enough.


The media gets all fired up because the Lakers are saying they feel played. No one really cares about the Raptors in all of this, tbh. And for the Lakers it's just sour grapes. Kawhi probably was holding out until the Clippers trade came through...the Lakers are just not used to not getting what they want so now they're going to bitch about the process that they fully volunteered to participate in. Had the Clips not swung that deal, who knows, Kawhi may have swallowed his pride and been LeBron's bitch for a couple of years. He was going to LA regardless, someway, somehow.

Wasn't he asking for some ridiculous stuff here before they wanted out from the Spurs? Probably just asks for stuff he knows he won't get, then use that as justification to say they didn't give us what we wanted so we dipped.

I doubt West gave them anything, but this may be why nephew took a short deal. He wants the Lakers but they wouldn't deal under the table, either.

Nephew is losing money everywhere. The Lakers may wind up losing AD, LeBron is getting old, and they treated all their parts.

Awesome.

Speaking of Dennis, Skip Bayless insists that UD introduced himself to Skip at the Pacquiao fight in Vegas Saturday (with Kawhi sitting nearby).

Dennis told Skip, "Kawhi asked me to say hi to you" or something like that.

He doesn’t care cause he’s an elitists...

LA hoops is better with Kawhi joining the Clippers...

“He doesn’t care” about Toronto or anything to do with SA or any small markets. If I’m Toronto I let it alllll fly....you got the title and keeping it 100 regarding Nephew and the crew isn’t gonna do any harm..

Leaving you after winning a title is one thing, but attempting to bend you over backwards knowing they’re gone is like you’re getting punk’d

The Stepien rule just says that a team cannot make a trade that leaves them without a first round draft pick in two consecutive future drafts. The league could take away the ones the Clippers had to keep, leaving the Clippers with no firsts at all for the next 9 years or so.

I'm more interested to see what happens if Number Two's contract really does get voided. I don't think any team left can pay him more than the room exception of $5.4M except the Hornets (who have the full MLE left IIRC). If Number Two ends up having to sign a one-year deal with another team, there's another $25M that Uncle D cost him.

tbh that loss is super real now that we see Westbrook, who took a SuperMax, and still got what he wanted (got tf out of Oklahoma), and still got to keep the money.

All Kawhi's bitch ass needed to do was declare himself out for the year medically, and that was that. But he had to fuck everything up and play an entire year with a fake ass loyalty to Toronto. Not like he fooled anyone up there but wow. Cost him a shitload of money by doing all that, and a lot of effort too.

Kawhi would have demanded a trade from SA with the SuperMax if he was here. Good thing for the Spurs FO that never happened.

Don't care if kawitter is or isn't a part of it no bullshit excuses that he knows nothing or even if he truly innocent and his uncle is the only corrupt one. It makes no difference it shows who they were....are...and will be. TRASH. Eventually karma is a bitch as is greed and deceit. Keep digging Stephen A and ESPN go expose them.....vindicate the spurs and the lies true colours showed. Organisations feeling played conned trying to extort crap when you should be grateful your able to earn and get what you have no doubt you earned it with your abilities but it doesn't give you the right to extort and squeeze shit losers.... lies deceit greed always come back to bite cheaters. In 3 years nobody may even deal with him or 4 whatever the contract is for. Oh and let's not 4get Nike only thing better that could go our way besides eliminating him from playoffs is if Nike wins such a large suit that it actually puts a dent in his earnings. It's hard to take on Nike and win. They could tie him up for a long time. God I'm enjoying this.

What evidence is there that the teams "reported" anything. These things never have any sources. And in typical Steve A fashion: "I'm not saying it's true but....". Brian Windhorst(sp?) is the first one who floated this without naming any sources. Same balloon spit as the Pelicans owner supposedly forbidding an Anthony Davis trade to the Lakers. Yes. The Kawhi Leonard camp leveraged all 3 teams against each other. Including the Clippers. They had no idea they were essentially bidding against themselves. Or so its claimed now. Personally I believe Leonard would have signed with the Lakers if the Clippers didn't capitulate. The Raptors GM smelled a rat as soon as the Leonard camp started making absurd requests. The Lakers already had a contingency plan. Nobody was shocked or surprised except the folks who truly "got played" like Jalen Rose, Chris Brussard and Steven A.

One last nit. Uncle Dennis and Kawhi aren't evil geniuses and manipulators. They had a very capable agent that pulled this off. Jerry West didn't do it either (by his own admission). Steve Ballmer and THE ACTUAL GM, Michael Winger, did. It's the whole Lakers angle, hated as they are, that drives this whole thing. They've been talked about more missing the playoffs than Clippers have making it. It's oxygen to ESPN and Fox. Don't be fooled by the rhetoric. It's all about the Lakers. And no one should excite themselves into believing Davis is going to leave the Lakers. He's leveraging their roster decisions the way he wants for as long as he has that leverage. You don't force a trade, complaining about losing and lack of endorsements, to go home to the Bulls or the Knicks which have roster that's simply Pelicans East.

Didn't read past the first sentence. Do you know what the word "IF" means? I said "IF".

As for evidence? TIMVP says they've hired an investigator who contacted him. That's good enough evidence. I don't know that they reported anything to the league, but if someone solicited a back door deal, and they're hiring investigators, they would be fools not to have made the league aware. (There's that damned "if" again.)




He's his advisor, he's not a certified agent.

That would explain a little bit. An agent would be risking his career for life if he was trying to arrange back door deals. They can't take away his right to be Kawhi's uncle. But they could still ban him from any NBA facilities around the league.

Just from the things we heard about him in SA, then Toronto, and now this summer, I think there's a good chance he's pushed too far. The league won't put up with that kind of BS very long.

Uncle dennis hate is stupid.

He just wants the best for his family.

Look, you are grossly oversimplifying that statement. It’s one thing to want the best for your family; it’s another thing entirely to use a ruthless by any means necessary tactic to get said stuff.

There is a good way to do business and a bad way. Do you say “hey, this unethical and lying business hate is stupid, they just want the best for their shareholders?”. No.

Who is "they've"? Steven A Smith hire some investigators looking for a scoop? :lol Or bitter Laker dumbphuck?

b. The league will put up with all kinds of bullshit. Kwame Brown for MVPau. Zaza ending what could have been #6 and beyond. Donkey the Cowards nutt kicks.

Spare us with "the league won't put up with" nonsense.

Evidence is having Dennis asking for/Clippers offering...in a type.

No one could prove NBA rigged games until FBI made Tim Donaghy to admit it. But Ballmer/Frank/Doc/Dennis won't do it.

Unles timvp and the rest of "informarts" are on real estate business or get banks accounts data to prove that Clippers give a house/endorsement/whatever to get the deal...NBA won't prove anything.

Also, Anthony Davis waived his $4M trade bonus and a few days later he got $4M for his apparence in Space Jam II. But it's the Lakers. I guess Silver won't say a word about it, right?

LMAO at this faggot asking for planes. Please tell me he's going to buy Uncle Dennis a jet since that's what bankrupted Scottie Pippen while he was still playing.

All of these NBA superstars are little princesses these days. Kawhi is just a little more blatant about it.
