The Athletic NBA Daily · Pablo Torre on the delay in the Kawhi Leonard scandal · 17 Jul 2026 podcast

candid really about like how this isn't exactly as independent as you think. matched

And also he happens to have been the 14 year executive director of the NFL Players Association. matched

So guys, just hard to find a better person to strip away the BS around who is the client, who is the customer, where is the money going, how do we follow it? matched

Yeah. matched

So anybody who's done these independent investigations, when you get them in an honest moment, laughs at the premise of the word independent, because literally this is the NBA. matched

And actually, in truth, Steve Ballmer, matched

In terms of who gets billed in the end, this is the NBA paying a law firm to do something within a scope that the NBA itself sets. matched

And so the other thing to your reference of the presser that Adam Silver said, which I had been reporting, and it's sort of that thing of just like he came out and tweeted it. matched

I've been working on it. matched

He said that their general counsel at the league, the league's own lawyers, are in touch with Wachtell every day. matched

Yeah. matched

In which they know what Wachtell is finding at every point in this timeline of now 11 months. matched

And the reason they do that is because they want to be aware of what the scope that they've given is producing in terms of information. matched

And also because there is a back and forth. matched

Again, this is a client paying a law firm and the law firm is there to do the job the client wants. matched

And if the client says, find all the facts within a scope, matched

then this is the very conversation that's happening. matched

And so it's just not independent. matched

It's literally not done by NBA employees, but it's done at the direction of the NBA. matched

And so independent is a euphemism, in other words. matched
