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

Right. matched

And I get it. matched

If you don't care about salary caps, cool. matched

But the question is, if you're the union and there is credible and perhaps increasing evidence that there was a breaking of the covenant you have with ownership by ownership, shouldn't you also pursue that interest in a parallel way? matched

And so far, the MBPA is not doing it. matched

I think that is a philosophical and strategic and perhaps financial mistake. matched

And I will simply say when it came to Kawhi Leonard's personal situation, matched

My understanding from my reporting is not that his arrangement is symptomatic of what lots of other players were getting. matched

You could also argue, in fact, that lots of other players, including some I've heard from, are like, well, how can I get some of that? matched

And by the way, that's what effectively, if you're a player who wasn't offered that or worked for a team, matched

that wouldn't offer that, your guy, your colleague, Kawhi Leonard, is getting stuff that you, as his fellow union member, is not able to. matched

And so I merely say that to say, matched

Kawhi Leonard is a player who deserves defense by his union, but the extremity of what this scenario is, $48 million for a no-show thing, equity plus this endorsement deal, is not representative of matched

of what most superstars are handling behind the scenes, according to my understanding. matched

And so there's only so much representativeness. matched

This extreme end of the spectrum, I think, actually signifies. matched

I think it's actually quite off the graph. matched

Magnitude wise, it's the biggest alleged caps or convention scheme in history of the sport, as well as American pro sports, according to all of the examples. matched

And by the way, I've been waiting in part. matched

What's fun about this, guys? matched
