He said: "When it comes to players, you will find that they are often promised 'We will give you a management position, we will give you special treatment, we will make you an ambassador'. Many players will get such a promise, especially later in their careers. Or 'We will give you a chance to become a shareholder of the team'. This kind of commitment is so common. Jordan was promised something back then. So he went to the Wizards to play again. It was because someone gave him a promise before - but when he finally retired, those promises were not fulfilled at all. The Wizards' subsequent problems were here. So players often get promises about future benefits, which is so common. "

" But the problem is that this time is different. This time I went to avoid the salary cap The current actual operation has completely changed the nature. There has always been no shortage of such underbox transactions and private agreements in the alliance, but they are rarely exposed or reported. This kind of thing is not the first time, nor will it be the last time. But the scale and possibility of being exposed this time are rare, and this time is absolutely unprecedented. "

" If this is true - in fact, this thing has happened before. Everyone knows the case of Joe Smith, and they know what happened at that time. As long as you understand The NBA, I know this is not the first time, nor will it be the last time. This kind of thing actually happens often. And yes, Ballmer doesn't care at all. He is one of the richest people in the world. This kind of thing has happened before, but you can't do it, absolutely not. But players rarely get into trouble for it. I want to say this, players are usually not punished. Of course, we are not sure if this is true now. For example, maybe they originally wanted to set up a company to get Leonard involved, but they didn't get the funds later, and it's possible. I can't say it. "
