@johnstodder @Fullcourtpass @Clipper_Revival @ShamsCharania Read the CBA. The burden of proof is low. The "smoking gun" is the no show contract. The Clippers/Kawhi have to give a rational explanation for it or else the NBA can punish.

@Fullcourtpass @Clipper_Revival @ShamsCharania If there was a smoking gun implicating Ballmer, Kawhi or the Clippers, it would have leaked by now. Pablo never found a shred of evidence for his speculative case. And I’m guessing neither did the NBA’s investigation. If they had, we’d know.

Kawhi Leonard has denied ANY participation in the alleged Aspiration scandal, per @ShamsCharania “The absolute worst is Kawhi Leonard’s contract being voided, or him being suspended for a significant period of time. Whether it’s 40/20 games or entire season.. it all comes down to the evidence and what’s found in the investigation.” (h/t @NBA__Courtside)

@mindingottawa @AnitaAnandMP @GAC_Corporate That's a lot lol. I guess they'll keep the details secret though.

Foreign Minister @AnitaAnandMP's dep't fires 25, has 11 others quit under investigation including diplomat caught in secret "inappropriate" contact with unnamed "foreign gov't officials."  blacklocks.ca/25-diplomats-f… #cdnpoli @GAC_Corporate

@tophz_ May i suggest wolf hall? Doesnt have the dragons/combat. But a lot of plotting in dark rooms. Better written that GoT imo.

I’ve been searching for a series that gives me the same feeling as Game of Thrones… and I’m starting to think it doesn’t exist.

@melaniejoly You know you don't have to say anything.

Lindsey, we agreed to disagree on many occasions, but I always valued our conversations. You were a passionate defender of South Carolina and a steadfast supporter of Ukraine. Your wit was unmatched. My heartfelt condolences to your sister, your loved ones, and your family.

Video game graphics 10 years ago:

@BestMovieMom Rhino cavalry?

Gladiator II completely misses what made the original so memorable. The story is forgettable, the tone feels off, and Paul Mescal never convinces as the lead. Russell Crowe said: “It is example of people not understanding what made first one special”

@rod_bridgers Anyone throat punch paige lately?

If you didn’t understand why Paige doesn’t get the same love as CC well now you know 🤷🏾‍♂️

@TheBackPage Dan Patrick needs Cathy Englebert and the WNBA less than they need him. Like he cares about burning bridges with them. Thats why he said it!

I have a few reactions to this… a little bit of something for everyone. Before anyone comes after for me for what I am about to say, understand that I’ve worked in the media actively since I was 18. I know a hit about how the sausage is made. FIrst and most importantly… if you are a young person just starting out in media and want to one day be a talk show host, DO NOT do what Dan Patrick is doing in this video. It’s the best way to burn a bridge and ensure high-profile guests don’t come on your show. Dan Patrick can get away with it because he’s… Dan Patrick. 2. The hubris from Dan to intimate that the WNBA can’t be taken seriously unless the commissioner comes on HIS show is one of the more laughable things I have ever heard. Tell me something, when was the last time you were talking to your friends about sports and they said “I was listening to/watching the Dan Patrick show the other day and…” Let’s all be honest. Not very often/if at all. 3. It is a bad look from Englebert. It’s the first in a long line of bad looks from Englebert. She could be the most toothless/feckless Commissioner in all of sports. And yet her league is still on the rise in spite of her. To the other people that are considered to be “professionals” that are sucking up to Dan Patrick with retweets and comments, just stop. You look like a bunch of sycophants. If I am Englebert, I go on with Cowherd first thing on Monday or Tuesday and answer all the hard questions. Then Dan’s 15 minutes of people caring about his show goes away and is replaced by the headlines that DP could have gotten if he didn’t grandstand.

so when does criston cole dies

@DavidColetto Plus the opposition sucks

Carney’s approval is holding in the mid-50s despite decisions that would normally divide the country. My read: Canadians see an external threat, want a government willing to act, and are granting it unusual political license. But that license may be rented, not owned. open.substack.com/pub/davidcolet…

@jon_eng4 @APH00PS @ChrisBHaynes It does not have to be "ironclad" just more likely than not. Its not a criminal trial with a beyond a reasonable doubt standard.

@KarlRholoff @APH00PS @ChrisBHaynes You would be right if the circumstantial evidence lined up with everything that PT alleges. The problem is, that it doesn't. There are holes in what PT alleges,especially the "no-show" deal amongst other things. The fact pattern has to be ironclad with the circumstantial evidence

The Kawhi Leonard-Aspiration investigation has, up to this point, NOT uncovered a “smoking gun,” per @ChrisBHaynes. “If there was something that was really going to stick it would’ve came already.”

@RealKrysKo @NickKouvalis Many, because the alternative has no ideas

@NickKouvalis When people end up losing their homes due to mortgages renewals and can't afford higher mortgage payments in the months ahead as their salaries can't keep up, will those who supported the Liberals still vote Liberal next election?

Pierre Poilievre's recent communication strategy is to convince Canadians of: A) they were wrong to vote for Carney as the best person to deal with Trump B) He would be the best person to deal with Trump and would have done a better job at this point, and C) Pierre was right about everything, meaning most people were wrong, again. Great strategy guys! Definitely going to work.

@pavyg @BBCSport @Wimbledon @geniebouchard I agree with all that, plus she looks great, has that lovely honeydew voice and she is FUNNY!

Two surprises of @BBCSport coverage of @Wimbledon was how good @geniebouchard was; she had great knowledge, insights and was concise, clear and articulate; and how bad Agassi was, monotonous, waffling with word salad after word salad. 🤦🏽 Good going Genie, absolute natural. 👏

@RaptorsNationCP The smoking gun is the no show contract.

This NBA insider speaks on the latest regarding the Kawhi Leonard investigation as the Raptors-Clippers trade is halted. clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-storie…

@JacobPacheco6 Dennis beating Nadal in MTL is honestly what good me hooked (I think he beat Delpo there too)

@KarlRholoff I know I was! Was Milos the most flashy player to watch? No. But his raw power and booming serve was enough to get him deep into tournaments. When healthy, in his prime, he was dangerous. You don't get #3 in the world by fluke. I hope he's doing well😊

What could have been🥹🎾🏆 #CdnTennis #Wimbledon

@FredSmithkq6 @APH00PS @ChrisBHaynes Doesnt matter if the Clippers are a party. Read the CBA. Next!

@KarlRholoff @APH00PS @ChrisBHaynes Ace the clips are not a party to that contract and for Kawhi it can be. Next.

@jon_eng4 @APH00PS @ChrisBHaynes Im not proposing anything. Thats what the CBA says. Its written that way because cap circumvention is hard to prove.

@KarlRholoff @APH00PS @ChrisBHaynes There are things that will be explained away once the league puts out the report. It has to be fully transparent with it. With that being said, what you are proposing is a slippery slope that other owners privately will not be happy with.

@acoyne Why shouldn't he? He acts like it and no one stops him.

It’s like he thinks he owns the United States government, and has left instructions in his will regarding its disposition after he is gone.

@EricDLombardi @OntLiberal A few weeks ago I asked for a platform and you said you'd deliver it in July. I started going through it (the corruption part) and although it does not politician wrongdoers put in stocks and pelted with rotten fruit, I am impressed with the clear promises and specificity!

For those wondering what’s happening in the @OntLiberal Leadership race, this is a pretty good outline. There is a real debate to be had about the future of Ontario and what our party offers. I am eager to see my competitors join me in this conversation soon!
