Oh wow…guess they figured this scandal was too big to hide, even for the richest owner.
They did it the smart way. By giving Kawhi only a slap on the wrist, the player's union accepted the punishment and now Ballmer can't take it to arbitration without them.
No punishment was never an option for the other 29 (lesser) billionaire owners. They don’t actually want to give players any more money, which they would have to do if Ballmer received no punishment and kept circumventing the cap.
