Chances are that Ballmer, though hardly infallible, is in fact too smart to attempt something that blatant. But more to your point, the cap rules are intended to keep some billionaires from spending what it takes to win so that other billionaires won’t have to. I can’t get outraged because Ballmer cares about winning, whether he cheated or not, and I wish that the owner of my team (the Bulls) cared as much.

Always good. This whole sandal is mostly a bummer because Kawhi is involved and I like his game and general awkwardness.

Glad to find you tackling the money problem. I am glad for K. Leonard to make all the money he can while he can. He's improving his life and the lives of his family. As far as S. Ballmer is concerned, if anyone thinks that money equals intelligence they be way wrong. WAY WRONG.

“the crime of capital — though those reasons get murkier” feels just a little like the rare instance of this stack burying the lede 🙏
