Love joked that Ballmer was like "Love Tree" to Xiaoka, but suddenly understood that Xiaoka was renewing her contract quickly

Recently, it was reported that Clippers player Leonard and boss Ballmer had a Yin-Yang contract, and the purpose was obviously to avoid luxury taxes. Suddenly I understood why George did not make any concessions when he renewed his contract. Moreover, last year, the small card did not sign a maximum salary, which was about 5 million yuan a year. The small card signed the contract very readily, and it turned out that it had given enough benefits in private. According to reporter Torre, in April 2022, Leonard signed a four-year, $28 million endorsement contract with Aspiration through his personal limited liability company KL2 Aspire. Nine months ago, Leonard had signed a four-year, $176.3 million contract extension with the Clippers - an amount that met the highest salary standard stipulated in the NBA's labor agreement at the time.

And there is also a clause, that is, if Xiaoka leaves, everything will be invalid.

So now do you understand why Xiaoka signed the contract so readily last year!

The league has now intervened in the investigation. If it is true, Ballmer will face a fine. However, according to previous history, there are not many fines. The highest is that the Timberwolves were fined 3.5 million and confiscated 5 first rounds. Money should be a small problem for Ballmer, it depends on whether it will be deprived of the first round.

After the incident was exposed, Love updated the social media and posted a cartoon picture of a boy looking at a tree and making a wish. Then the caption reads: "The Tree of Love, written by Steve Ballmer."

So what if others Love is a cultural person? This is obviously a joke about Ballmer, because "The Tree of Love" tells a story of greed, a children's picture book written by American writer Sher Silverstein.

The story is about a boy meeting a big tree that can be made wishes, and then he made five requests, which were too much more than once. He first asked for the fruits of the big tree, followed by branches, followed by trunks, and the last stump was not spared. But Dashu enjoys selfless dedication and has never refused.

Everyone knows that Leonard's agent is his uncle Nice Robertson. This guy is a very greedy person. In the offseason in 2019, Robertson made compensation requirements for violations, including team equity, private jets, real estate, and off-site endorsement fees, when he negotiated with several teams on behalf of Leonard. In addition, Robertson is also considered to have played a bad role in handling the relationship between Leonard and the Spurs. The Spurs often receive Robertson saying "Leonard wants this and that", but the Spurs are not sure whether this is Leonard or his uncle's meaning.

So this Yin-Yang contract is likely to be his uncle's work. With Xiao Ka's personality, he probably did not participate in this matter. According to the league regulations, if it is found to be true, the amount is large, and the circumstances are serious, the contract between the two parties may be invalidated, and the small card may also face the possibility of a ban.

If it is an agreement reached by both parties, both parties will be fined! If Xiao Ka signed an endorsement with the company without knowing it, the boss will be fined.

But it shouldn't be so serious. In the end, Ballmer will definitely handle it very well. At most, it's just to spend some money. After all, the alliance also needs to make money and will not be too staggering.

However, I personally think that Ballmer's move is more about leaving small cards, and of course, luxury tax is also one aspect. I feel that there are some unspoken rules in the league. You see, there are also tricks when you join so many basic-paid players this year.
