It's the squad show where we take over the feet of your favorite lockdown show.

Today we're talking about this Kauai Leonard story because I don't know what Steve Ballmer did. I don't know if it's all connected, but if it is, whew, big trouble for the Clippers and the NBA in general. Not everybody's buying it, though. We'll talk about why today. Welcome into the Lockdown NBA Squad show. My name is Nick Engstead.

This is where we take over the feed of your favorite lockdown show.

It's an open invite for any host to join and talk about anything they want in the NBA.

Literally anything they want.

I got Ryland Stiles from Locked on Thunder, Philip Rossman-Rike, locked on Magic.

Ryan Blackburn, locked on Nuggets, myself from Lockdown Mavs.

We're going to talk about probably a whole bunch of things today.

But gentlemen, let's start with this today.

The Kauai Leonard story is one of the most interesting, like, could be massive blow-up in

your face story that I've seen in a long time.

Let's start with this first, because I asked this on Lockton & MAA Daily today of West and Hayes, but I'll ask you guys too.

Who do you believe? Do you believe the Clippers that this was nothing?

The Clippers don't have anything to do with this aspiration company that is giving money to Kauai Leonard and was maybe funneled by Steve Ballmer?

Or do you believe that Pablo Tore is right

and that Kauai was getting payments under the table?

That's basically the question we're answering right now.

Bob Latory is right more often than he's wrong at this point.

He is a legitimate reporter,

and he has been doing a lot of great digging

over the course of these last few years.

And especially over Pabletori finds out, like that dude has been doing a lot of great digging over the course of these last few years. And especially over Pabletori finds out, like, that dude has been on one.
