Adam Silver on the Clippers Scandal, NBA Expansion and the Future of Watching Games
Among the things Adam Silver expected to be dealing with in his 12th season as NBA commissioner, an alleged case of salary cap circumvention involving one of the NBA’s best players, its wealthiest owner and a bankrupt climate-conscious financial services company wasn’t one of them. At least not until an episode of the Pablo Torre Finds Out podcast implicated Clippers owner Steve Ballmer in an alleged scheme to skirt salary rules by funneling money through a firm that sold carbon offsets before the company went belly-up.

And certainly, circumstantial evidence alone doesn’t prevent findings for one particular side. But then, even in the case of circumstantial evidence, you look at the totality of the circumstances. So it’s not formulaic. We will look at everything that’s presented to us, and that includes inferences that come from evidence as well.
