TA famous reporter: Xiaoka could have signed a short contract with the Clippers in 21 years and then chased a big contract, but he chose to renew his contract

September 4th, TA reporter Pablo Torre broke the news on a podcast program that Clippers star Leonard is suspected of signing a Yin-Yang contract with Clippers boss Ballmer.

TA famous reporters Joe Vardon and Sam Amick also jointly wrote an article to report on the incident, which detailed the timeline of the incident.

It is understood that Aspiration, the company involved in the incident, received $50 million in funding provided by Ballmer in September 2021. A few weeks later, the Clippers and Aspiration reached a 23-year sponsorship agreement totaling $300 million. In November 2021, Leonard registered his own company KL2Aspire. In April 2022, Leonard signed a $28 million endorsement contract with Aspiration, but the job is actually a nominee position.

It is worth mentioning that in 2021, Leonard could have signed a 2-year, $82 million 1+1 contract with the Clippers. By the next summer, the Clippers will have his bird rights. By then, he can seek to renew a 5-year, $242 million super contract, but Leonard chose a more secure and team-friendly plan and directly signed a 4-year, $175 million contract, which not only allows the Clippers to maintain the flexibility of their cap space, but also ensures that Leonard will play for the Clippers for many years to come.
