The universe (and Magic Johnson) did the Los Angeles Lakers a favor when Kawhi Leonard chose to sign with the Clippers in 2019 over the superior LA team. He chose Paul George over LeBron James and Anthony Davis, a decision that already aged poorly, but especially now, after Pablo Torre's alleged bombshell report about the Clippers circumventing the salary cap.

On Wednesday's episode of "Pablo Torre Finds out," the host revealed that he had discovered Leonard received a $28 million, no-work contract in 2022 from Aspiration, a San Francisco-based environmental company that went bankrupt earlier this year.
