I ran into a bunch of people from a bunch of teams, and they all wanted to talk about that.
Oddly enough, not many people want to talk about tanking.
Not many people wanted to talk about gambling.
But everyone wanted to talk about aspiration and the Clippers Capsule Convention.
And it's an incredibly important story.
The problem is, Dan, it's a couple of things.
I think, one, I wonder for the layperson.
How much do you care?
You probably care about the consequences.
You really don't care about the journey.
Obviously, people in the league care very much about the journey because it's going to dictate
basically what their jobs are going to be like moving forward.
I had one exec tell me, I don't want to get into the money laundering business.
But if they get off with this, we pretty much turn into Ozark, basically.
Like we're just going to have to figure out creative ways to run money through the system to pay players under the table.
And so I think it's an incredibly important story, but I wonder for the regular listener, the regular viewer, the regular NBA fan, do they actually care about the nuts and bolts?
Probably not.
Zaslow shaking his head no.
I don't think they do.
Yeah, Dan, I kind of talked about this a lot over the weekend.
