TA: Clippers have triggered a crisis of trust in the league, Ballmer s huge wealth will undermine fair competition

According to The Athletic famous reporter Sam Amick, NBA President Xiao Hua met with the media after the NBA board meeting and talked about the investigation into the Clippers' suspected evasion of the salary cap.

It is understood that the current situation seriously threatens the trust of league investors. Sources revealed that within a few days after the incident was disclosed, a large number of team owners expressed concerns to Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua said: "The bosses told me at the board meeting that the right to judge is retained. This is why the league office exists, and it is also why you need a president who is independent of the team. On the one hand, I do work for the boss of 30 teams, but I also have independent responsibilities to maintain the league's brand and integrity. I did not communicate further with the team boss and asked everyone to suspend the judgment, wait for the league to investigate, and then communicate the results."

It is understood that Ballmer's huge wealth has scared fans of the other 29 teams of the league. If Ballmer can acquire and retain top stars through secret means, it will undoubtedly undermine the core of the strict salary cap system and affect fair competition.
