On September 4, the Clippers were caught in the Yin-Yang contract scandal. According to US reporter Pablo Torre, there was a Yin-Yang contract between Clippers star Leonard and boss Ballmer to evade the salary cap. This incident attracted attention. The league's official intervened in the investigation, and the Clippers officially denied the rumors and bluntly stated that they did not supervise the endorsement contract signed by Xiaoka independently.

Pablo Torre reported that Clippers star Kah was suspected of signing a $28 million "listed position" endorsement agreement with a fraudulent company, and the company was actually secretly invested by Clippers boss Steve Ballmer. Sources said the move was entirely intended to "avoid the salary cap".
Torre said that over the past seven months, I have investigated 3,487 documents and interviewed multiple (7) internal sources; the reporter also exposed a clause in the contract document: "To avoid doubt, if Leonard is still receiving the team's salary, but has joined another NBA team or has retired, then either of these two situations will constitute a trigger for the company's termination of the agreement."
This clause was interpreted by the media as Leonard's endorsement compensation, which is actually equivalent to the "attached salary" he stayed in the Clippers.

Regarding Xiao Ka's suspected of signing a Yin-Yang contract, the NBA League official has intervened in the investigation. The Clippers official immediately refuted the rumor, and the statement read: Neither the Clippers nor Ballmer evaded the salary cap. It is absurd that Ballmer sent money to Leonard through Aspiration! Ballmer invests in Aspiration because they respect their customers while protecting the environment.
The team sponsor signs an endorsement agreement with the players of the same team, which is nothing unusual or inappropriate. Neither Steve nor the Clippers management supervised the independent endorsement agreement signed by Kawhi and Aspiration. If this is not the case, it would be completely wrong. The 20}
The Xiaoka Yin-Yang Contract Incident caused controversy, and the famous reporter Kevin O 'Connor forwarded the report and said bluntly: This story is too crazy. There is a clause that Kawhi Leonard can only continue to get money if he is still playing for the Clippers.
Lakers reporter Anthony Irwin said: "I really think the league should let Ballmer sell the Clippers. With his financial resources, he can't feel any punishment from the league at all, and he obviously doesn't care about the salary cap rules."

An league executive said in an interview with Lakers Daily that the Lakers failed to sign a small card that year, which was a big thunder; the executive said: The Lakers wanted Leonard very much at that time. Oh my God, it was a great blessing that they could not sign him at that time. Does anyone think that Ritchie Paul and LeBron are difficult to deal with? Leonard's uncle Dennis is even more exaggerated. He felt that Xiao Ka was the rebirth of Jesus. The Lakers did not sign Leonard, and they really escaped. This guy played few games and did not do marketing for the team. Now he is being investigated for disgraceful news. It has been a big trouble for Ballmer and the Clippers' executives since signing him.
famous mouth A-Smith complained on the show that Leonard is the most talented player on vacation. He likes to get a salary if he doesn't work. He never does what he should do. The children interact with him but he doesn't say a word.
Kevin Love posted a news on INS, writing: "The Love Tree, written by Steve Ballmer."

If the league finds evidence of the Clippers and Kat's violation, they will be severely fined - a maximum fine of $7.5 million, direct confiscation of draft picks and invalidation of contracts; this year's offseason, the Clippers strengthened the team through multiple operations, but the new season has not started yet, and they are already in trouble. In addition to Kat's contract scandal, Harden's restaurant was forced to shut down due to arrears of $2.2 million, and Bogdan withdrew from the European Cup due to a hamstring torn.
