Because there's no better player than a prime Kawhi Leonard coming off a title with the Raptors, two-way player, all that stuff.

And now it's like, yeah, welcome to sports, Steve, is a bit of what's happened here.

The double insult, the double bind is this story today for a guy that you may not even want in the same way anymore because his body turned out to be not trustworthy either.

Do we know if trees were actually planted?

Because like Dan said, well, it isn't actually illegal.

It's just them getting around the salary cap.

But if they're raising money to replant trees and they're just using that money to pay celebrities to do nonsense, then crimes might have actually been committed.

Oh, I mean, look, so the co-founder of the company, Joe Sandberg, who is a big Democrat politician in California, pled guilty.

Two counts of wire fraud, nine-figure scheme, all that stuff.

Guilty of being a glib.

There is, but by the way, the climate change pose, right?

Like Trump's administration comes to an end, the first one, and people are like, it's time for the good guys to make some bank.

And so their logo, their motto was,

Clean rich is the new filthy rich.

And then part of the investigation, Billy, and it's, again, a very good thought, is did you guys even plant the trees?

And the source that we have in the episode points out that in their experience at the company, amid all this documentation, there was precisely one visit to a tree planting site.

So, in short, the answer seems to be no.

They didn't really plant all of those trees, despite claiming, by the way, Andre Czerny, whose signature was on the contract with Kawhi Leonard, he had claimed, we plant as many trees every day, even more actually, more trees every day than there are in Central Park.

None of that seems to have been true.

Oh, I just love the fact that, like, by the way, Doc Rivers was a guy who invested in this.
