In the turmoil of Yin-Yang contract! NBA executive: The Lakers failed to sign Xiaoka back then, so they escaped

September 4th, TA reporter Pablo Torre broke the news on a podcast program that there is a yin-yang contract between Clippers star Leonard and boss Ballmer to evade the salary cap.

After this incident was exposed, a league executive said in an interview with Lakers Daily that the Lakers failed to sign a small card that year, which was a big thunder.

"The Lakers wanted Leonard very much at the time. Oh my God, it was a great blessing that they failed to sign him. Some people think that Ritchie Paul and LeBron are difficult to deal with? Leonard's uncle Dennis is even more exaggerated. He thinks that Kat is the rebirth of Jesus. The Lakers did not sign Leonard, which really escaped. This guy played few games and did not promote the team. Now he is investigated for disgraceful news. Since signing him, this has been a big trouble for Ballmer and the Clippers' executives." said the NBA executive.

In 2019, the Lakers expressed great interest in signing Xiaoka, but Xiaoka eventually joined the Clippers.
