Former Milwaukee Bucks owner Marc Lasry says he doesn’t believe L.A. Clippers o
wner Steve Ballmer circumvented salary cap
Former Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry said he doesn’t believe L.A. Clipper
s owner Steve Ballmer attempted to circumvent the NBA’s salary cap by working w
ith a third-party company to surreptitiously pay superstar Kawhi Leonard in 2021
“It’s not something I would ever believe,” Lasry told CNBC in an exclusive in
terview. “I’ve known Steve a long time and I’ve known his partner [Clippers m
inority owner] Dennis [Wong] a long time. I’ve always found them to be honorabl
e and gentlemen.”
Lasry said there’s always pressure to win in the NBA, but “there’s not pressu
re to skirt the rules.”
“In the NBA, everybody knows the rules. You follow it, and it’s because you kn
ow that if you don’t, you’re just going to get in a lot of trouble,” he said.
“I think it’s probably a lot of smoke, but I don’t think there’s much there,
” said Lasry.

公鹿隊前老闆Marc Lasry表示,他不認為快艇隊老闆Steve Ballmer曾在 2021年透過與第三
方公司合作,暗中支付超級球星Kawhi Leonard金錢,以規避 NBA 的薪資上限
「這不是我會相信的事情」
Lasry在接受 CNBC 獨家專訪時表示
「我認識Steve很久了,也認識他的合作夥伴 (快艇小股東Dennis Wong)很久了,我一直
覺得他們都是誠實又有風度的人」
Lasry說,在NBA確實總是存在奪冠壓力,但「並不存在必須要規避規則的壓力」
「在 NBA,大家都知道規則,你必須遵守,因為如果不遵守,你只會惹上大麻煩」
「我認為這大概只是很多煙霧,但實際上沒有什麼實質內容」
