Leonard s Yin-Yang contract incident latest news: The total amount reaches 48 million, and the All-Star Game may be moved to the Lakers home court

On September 5, the NBA entered the offseason. Earlier today, TA reporter Pablo Torre and others continued to reveal the news about Leonard's Yin-Yang contract. The total contract amount reached 48 million, not 28 million. In addition, former Clippers coach Rivers is one of the consultants of the company who signed a false endorsement contract with Leonard. There is a false endorsement contract between Leonard and a bankrupt carbon neutral company suspected of fraud, worth $28 million, but the job actually doesn't exist at all. The company has received a secret investment of $50 million in Clippers boss Ballmer. Relevant sources revealed that Leonard's contract was to evade the salary cap.

And according to the latest reports, Leonard also reached an additional agreement with Aspiration, where he will receive $20 million in the company's shares, which will be paid from personal holdings of one of the founders of Aspiration within four years. In other words, Leonard's total off-site compensation contract reached $48 million. It is worth mentioning that former Clippers head coach Doug Rivers is a member of the Aspiration Company Advisory Board.

In this regard, a senior general manager revealed that it is not ruled out that the alliance regards this incident as not only a simple avoidance of the salary cap, but also involves avoiding luxury taxes, etc. It may take a long time to thoroughly investigate this matter. If the league believes that the violation is more serious than evading the salary cap, it may be allowed to avoid public appearances during the investigation. The executive believes: "If the league determines that you have violated the labor-management agreement, the league will have a lot of power and room to impose heavy penalties." In addition, if this investigation determines that the Clippers and Leonard are seriously violating the rules, the NBA may consider adjusting the arrangements for the 2026 All-Stars, such as changing from the Clippers' new home stadium to the Lakers' home stadium.
