David SamsonHOST
So I actually don't know, Coco, what the total number of episodes we've done.
David SamsonHOST
Kawhi Leonard, it was reported yesterday, bunch of reporters had it, whether it was Fischer, Marc Stein, that Kawhi Leonard is signing an extension with the Toronto Raptors, a two-year, $126 million extension.
David SamsonHOST
That would be the max extension for Kawhi Leonard, who is playing at 35 years old.
David SamsonHOST
He turns 36 next year.

Sometimes people package writers together.
Trysta KrickPANELIST
Jake Fisher, who's an NBA insider, another Mark Stein, another NBA insider, they put their powers together like Avengers.
Greg CotePANELIST
Wow.
Greg CotePANELIST
Okay.
Brent GunningHOST
I, I, like you, felt, felt the same way.
Brent GunningHOST
There was the report, I believe it was the Marc Stein report, that Ballmer...
Brent GunningHOST
And this was before his statement of like, "Oh, maybe he's gonna be vindictive about this." I felt like I talked to people, not like informed speculation, just like, you know, idiot bud speculation of, "Well, hold on.
Brent GunningHOST
Why don't the Raptors go in and say, 'Nah, we're gonna, we're gonna narrow the scope of this deal and maybe try to give you a little less for Kawhi.'" Like, do you think there was ever a point where either side was trying to use what was happening with this as leverage in the, in the trade talks?
Brent GunningHOST
Mm.
Ben EnnisHOST
Did you ever have a doubt that this would be consummated? 'Cause there's, there wasn't a ton of reporting around it not happening or what is the hold up on this thing, but there was the one Marc Stein thing-
Brent GunningHOST
Yeah
Ben EnnisHOST
... about Steve Ballmer being upset, and maybe I'm just gonna make Kawhi sit in it for a bit and, and then maybe came to his senses.
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
The deal between the Clippers and the Raptors is still on hold.
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
All reporting of, of spec- specifically from Marc Stein and Jake Fischer at The Stein Line, has been about how this is on the Clippers side of things, that they're waiting to make this deal complete.
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
I've, I've...
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
I said on my podcast a couple weeks ago, after the Clippers, you know, uh, penalty was first released, that the NBA is willing and ready to put this deal through.
Adam AuslundHOST
Nobody has reported that the trade will be stopped.
Adam AuslundHOST
Uh, in fact, originally it was put on pause by the Raptors and not the league, and the Marc Stein report that just came out the other day said both teams are free to submit the trade to the league.
Adam AuslundHOST
Now, that doesn't necessarily mean, uh, they sign off on it, but you would think if they're asking them to submit the trade or at least saying they are free to, that they would approve the trade [laughs] at some point here.
Adam AuslundHOST
But I agree with you.
Darian VaziriHOST
So let's begin.
Darian VaziriHOST
Today, or should I say Friday, Marc Stein reported that the Toronto Raptors and the LA Clippers are free to submit their Kawhi trade to get NBA approved at any time.
Darian VaziriHOST
There is no hold up at the league level.
Darian VaziriHOST
Now, that makes me think, because at this point, after the punishment was announced a little over a week ago, I thought that this trade would go through in the coming days after that.
Allan MitchellHOST
Uh, Adam Silver has punished them deeply, the Clippers, in terms of draft picks, and I guess this would, Josh, be the opportunity for Silver to justify, although I think a lot of people probably feel like he is justified in the penalty.
Josh FenwickPANELIST
Uh, I do believe it was also reported by Marc Stein that he does intend to publicly address the punishment next week.
Allan MitchellHOST
Mm-hmm.
Josh FenwickPANELIST
Uh, but yeah, I mean, like, to the whole Board of Governors, I think to them it seems pretty fair, uh, and they're...
Trevor LaneHOST
We did...
Trevor LaneHOST
I mean, kind of a busy morning in the NBA, and I guess let's start with what just came out, and that was Mark Stein, um, tweeting, or, or posting, I guess, on X.
Trevor LaneHOST
He said, "Sources briefed on the situation tell The Stein Line that the Clippers and Raptors are free at any time to co-submit for the, for NBA approval their agreed in June Kawhi Leonard trade.
Trevor LaneHOST
Obviously b- both teams must want the trade call, but I'm told there's no hold up at the league level." So there'd been some talk that maybe the league would want to officially recognize who it is that's the interim governor of the team, and that could be holding things up with the Kawhi Leonard situation.
Trevor LaneHOST
Mark Stein saying, no, like they can, they can do this deal any time they want.
Trevor LaneHOST
Which, of course, Keith, that then begs the question: Why is this still not done?
Keith SmithHOST
Well, I mean, that doesn't...
Cristian ChineduUNKNOWN
... on that front in the meantime.
Cristian ChineduUNKNOWN
First starting off from Marc Stein and his Sci- Stein Line Substack.
Cristian ChineduUNKNOWN
And I quote, "League observers are wondering aloud if the Clippers are holding off on the trade or even considering something more drastic to spite Kawhi Leonard for accepting the league's punishment rather than pursuing an appeal." Afterwards, we got more news.

The Justice Department, this is from The New York Times.
