00:00hey the nba they stripped the clippers of five first round picks suspended steve balmer for a
00:04year so he can't go to any games can't do anything nope can't go to any games can't be around
00:09the team
00:09he can do his own the team all he can do is pay the bills he's gonna disguise it though
00:15i if there
00:16was somebody who was gonna bobby valentine it and put on a fake mustache it's gonna be steve
00:20balmer right i mean that is kind of crazy right because who's gonna rat on him right if he just
00:25goes with carl the security guy i mean i suppose if he gets you know do you think they double
00:30his
00:30suspension if they catch him one time because he just wants to cheer that's the thing uh
00:37you think he'll do a bobby valentine yeah dude if he was if anybody was gonna bobby valentine it was
00:41gonna it's gonna be steve balmer let me say this there is no guy that can go anywhere
00:49with a disguise the way that guy acts you think he's gonna go there and be
00:54low-key low-key no so it's probably the best thing
01:02crazy man uh steven a is mad about kawaii he says that he should be uh suspended for a year
01:09and give
01:09the money back i don't think they were allowed to you can't he was part of the settlement he can't
01:14because that's that has nothing to do with the salary cap i could understand why that's annoying
01:20though because like here's the thing he these backroom deals were for him right you know like
01:27steve balmer is he's cheating but he's he's trying to do it to benefit kawaii leonard and kawaii is
01:33basically leaving in the wreckage like the joker you know a very mild-mannered joker but the joker
01:39on the list i like yeah this is just crazy in itself like kawaii what does he care right like
01:48it's player against owner right and and he he took the deal first because like one is still like no
01:54i
01:54didn't do this and kawaii's like
01:56take full responsibility for my people he didn't take responsibility well he said he took responsibility
02:02for his his camp he says i accept full responsibility for lapses and judgment by my people exactly
02:10he's blaming people of anything is that like when the coach the coach says listen in the end it all
02:17falls on me right right but we got to be better offensively and defensively organ organizing and
02:24getting the play calls right speaking of uh speaking of investigations little willie bill
02:31simmons bernie's done this to us yesterday is under investigation or under review by the
02:36massachusetts authorities because of proxy betting he apparently went on his podcast and yammered on
02:43about how his girlfriend's uh his his daughter's boyfriend excuse me placed bets for him and uh you're
02:51not allowed to do that so explain it again i'm trying to he went on uh he went on his
02:58podcast
02:58very which is you know funded by fanduel right and basically went in there saying that he had his uh
03:04his daughter's boyfriend go play his bets for him with his account and he said it on t on on
03:09air yeah
03:10such an idiot like who admits to that did you not see i just did you not see what just
03:17happened
03:17in basketball yeah and you follow basketball yet you
03:25it's incredible you can't like make this up no you can't right and also like he doesn't have a producer
03:32looking out for him being like you know hey we should think we should get that out that's it yeah
03:37that's another thing is it live though no sometimes it's live sometimes i don't think this is a live podcast
03:42though sometimes it is i think he goes live on uh who determined but isn't he the owner so oh
03:48he is
03:48the owner he would determine it himself yeah he'd be like gosh but he's he pleaded ignorance he's just
03:53like i didn't know i couldn't do that then why would you wait what did that make everybody knows you
03:58can't do that wait you were the actual one talking about all this right going on in basketball
04:07so why would you think you could do it it's crazy no not even that it's that why would you
04:15not know that you can't do that and then be sneaking behind to have be a like have a proxy
04:21better right correct like for that then you could just do it yourself
04:25so you know one rule but not the other that makes no sense
04:29bill simmons defense was whoops
04:34tough summer for him we don't we'd admit like he's been wrong about everything
04:37he has paul george on his basketball team and and he's being reviewed by the massachusetts
04:43massachusetts gaming commission
04:46tough summer bill simmons oh well i guess you'll just have to feel better in your screwed mcduck money
04:53you know the ones you legally got not from not from illegal betting activities
04:57you
