The Athletic NBA Daily · Sam Amick on the NBA wide impact of the Clippers punishment · 7 Sep 2026 podcast

So I do wonder to what degree, if any, the other owners knew what was coming.

I would be pretty suspect that they got a preview here.

Nobody got a preview.

I mean, the Clippers were blindsided, right.

You know, and, and,

So timing wise, you know, you look at that to your point about the 30 million.

It is interesting because you needed to get to a number immediately.

Ironically, that was big enough to scare everybody but Steve Ballmer.

That is the goal here.

The Ballmer stuff, you're taking his draft picks, you're suspending his executives, you're suspending him for a year.

The money, I actually think the intent and the main focus of that is it's got to be enough for other teams to say, that's not nothing.

We can't mess around here.

We'll get to the Clippers side of it here in a minute, but

I tell you, just once you read the entire report and even just objectively, all the stories I've covered, even stuff outside the NBA, I just still I have such a hard time reconciling the the energy that they are throwing at their denials with the incredible detail that is in this report.

You can.

Yeah.

Go after Pablo Torre if you want.

You can go after us.

You know, this was a respected law firm that spent an entire calendar year spending 15 or 50 million dollars, you know, supposedly of Steve's money, ironically.

Yeah.
