In the quietest period of the NBA offseason, investigative reporter Pablo Torre dropped explosive news regarding Kawhi Leonard signing a $28M endorsement deal with a fraudulent tree-planting company funded by Clippers owner Steve Ballmer as a way to circumvent the salary cap. Then, Torre joined the Dan Patrick Show and vaguely suggested that Jalen Brunson could have been involved in a similar situation.
Speaking on the Dan Patrick show, Torre stated that he had received plenty of tips telling him to look into Brunson's contract situation as well. Torre didn't get into many specifics, but he did say it was "certainly interesting" when discussing how Brunson arrived with the Knicks.
