Mark Cuban lashes out at Pablo Torre after defending Steve Ballmer amid Kawhi Leonard scandal
NY Post
Mark Cuban lashed out at Pablo Torre after the two got into a heated debate regarding Torre’s reporting on the alleged Kawhi Leonard scandal.
Torre alleged that owner Steve Ballmer and the Clippers circumvented the NBA’s salary cap rules by giving Leonard a $28 million no-show marketing deal with environmental start-up Aspiration.
Cuban took to X to defend Ballmer, saying he “isn’t dumb” and supporting Ballmer’s claim that he was scammed by Aspiration.
Torre subsequently invited Cuban to talk about it on his podcast, which Cuban accepted.
When Torre promoted the lengthy discussion with Cuban, the former Mavericks owner took issue with how it was presented.
“Pablo, come on,” Cuban posted on X. “You only pushed your side in the promos. Nothing you said made your point. You took lots of information provided by scammers, who negotiated with someone not connected with Ballmer, and took them at face value. Just to be clear. Still Team Ballmer.”
