long article 5 min

Der Artikel behandelt Vorwürfe gegen den Besitzer der Los Angeles Clippers, Steve Ballmer, der reichste Teambesitzer der NBA. Ihm wird vorgeworfen, die Salary-Cap-Bestimmungen der Liga umgangen zu haben, um den Starspieler Kawhi Leonard anzuwerben. Konkret soll Ballmer Leonard zusätzlich zu seinem regulären Gehalt 28 Millionen Dollar gezahlt haben. Der Fall kam durch Recherchen des Journalisten Pablo Torre ans Licht, der Dokumente und Zeugenaussagen sammelte. Die Enthüllungen werfen Fragen nach der Einhaltung der NBA-Regeln und dem Umgang der Liga mit finanzstarken Teambesitzern auf. Der Fall erinnert an frühere Kontroversen um Ballmer, darunter eine kleinere Strafe wegen finanziellen Fairplays.
