Mark Cuban is standing firm in Steve Ballmer's corner after a report claimed he got Kawhi Leonard a bogus $28 million sponsorship to skirt the NBA salary cap ... saying he truly believes the billionaire is solely a victim in the whole fiasco.
Pablo Torre dropped the bombshell report on Wednesday ... which claimed Ballmer orchestrated a way to get Leonard more than his nearly $150 million contract through an endorsement with Aspiration, a tree-planting company that ultimately went bankrupt.
