The NBA Hammers the Clippers! Instant Reaction

hey friends welcome back into salt city hoops today is an amazing special emergency episode where we talk about the kawaii littered cap circumvention issues going on in the nba and the punishment that was given out to steve ballmer in the nba we have dan clinton joining us to talk about the whole thing come on in Welcome back in, friends, to Salt City Hoops.

I'm so happy you're here.

And the NBA just does not stop.

And when it comes to absolutely earth-shattering moments in the NBA, yes, there are national voices covering the whole thing.

But I feel like we would be remiss not to come in here and talk about the whole thing.

So I had to bring in...

the man, the myth, the legend himself, the leader of Salt City Hoops, Dan Clayton, to help digest all of our thoughts in real time about this, not only for our listeners as jazz fans, but also listeners as NBA fans and people who come to us to appreciate the business of basketball.

So, Dan, thank you.

It's late at night here, and we're doing okay.

How are you, and are you ready to chat about this fun thing?

So first of all, I'm stoked for our listeners that they get to Salt City Hoops podcast and within, you know, 48 hours unexpectedly.

But most of all, I'm so excited to talk about this with you, of all people, because not that many.

When you think about the overlapping, you know, the Venn diagrams

between people who

are.

as nerdy about basketball as you and me, but then also know a thing or two about the law and know how to parse 36-page legal briefs and know how to parse the NBA's constitution and figure out what's going to happen next.

Ever since we texted earlier, I've been looking forward to hearing Mark Pereira's take on what the hell just happened and what the hell is going to happen on a big, frankly, kind of unexpected day.

So I am not quite boisterous, but I do mention from time to time that I was a former big law firm attorney.

I have interviewed with Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen and Katz and was summarily said, please do not come back.

Now, I ended up finding a good spot.

I had to break out my old Sherman and Sterling relationship.

llp mug from my first days at my first law firm uh a fancy white shoe new york law firm to say like yeah you know i i've done a a thing or two about the law look i think we beat around the bush a little bit dan we're here to talk about the uh the punishment actually comes down from the nba with respect to the kawaii leonard Caps or convention allegations.
