We'll update some polls here with Juju in a second, but just Amin and Pablo, since we have the Pulitzer winners here, and just hypothetically, okay, because I've been watching this Kawhi situation and the reporting that you guys are doing, and I'm like, how is the NBA going to wiggle out of this? Just hypothetically, if you were to try to arrange things between all parties so that you can get no loud objection from any NBA people in this scenario. Wouldn't Toronto be the angriest group here because of how they lost Kawhi? And if they get Kawhi now in the exchange years later, isn't this one of the creative ways that you could arrange it if you were trying to do that hypothetically?

It's about the most convenient outcome is how this all is smelling like right now. Um, look, the question of what does the NBA fear as a result of their decision on the Clippers— they would fear the foremost, uh, example of a team that got wronged, the Raptors. They would fear a, a, perhaps a podcast that would say, how could you do nothing? And they would ostensibly worry about the fans who would make noises. And if you can thread a needle by getting Kawhi to Raptors, a 5th overall pick in a stacked draft to the Clippers, and if you could do something, something so that a certain podcast can't say you did nothing, then suddenly you have read the board as strategically as you possibly could.

The difficult part that they have to tread— we're all talking with the air of certainty that we know that the Clippers did something untoward, but there is a realm where everything they do can be explained away in a way that, hey, letter of the law, we didn't actually do it. Forget about the intent, we didn't actually do anything wrong. And so within that small window, the NBA can make the leap according to Article 13 that, hey, if this ended up in this way, you're guilty anyway. They can make the leap of saying we can't prove that they circumvented the cap intentionally, even though that was the outcome. And as a result We can levy this punishment, which would be commensurate with what happened with the Timberwolves years ago— a bunch of draft picks, uh, suspension of key individuals. But the biggest gift that they could give is to take Kawhi away and give him to another team. And that's what seems to be happening. That's why, uh, Pablo's Larry Tannenbaum theory is very interesting, because if there were someone who were going to be kept abreast of the situation. It would be the chairman of the Board of Governors.

No, I mean, keep in mind just the backstage— what the NBA does not like telling the fans, uh, is that Larry Tanenbaum, chair of the Board of Governors, Steve Ballmer on the audit committee, right? Like, these are people who are in charge of very important aspects of how the NBA governs itself. And so, look, what I mean is saying in terms of letter of the law is very interesting because of course the question then becomes, how do you define rational explanation? But I think even more pressing for the NBA, Dan, to your question of like, how would you do it if you wanted to minimize the problem here? You would also limit the scope of your investigation. And what we reported in that episode we did at Sloan with the whistleblower complaint, which to me is a document that cannot be more persuasive because it was made in 2023. It was the roadmap the federal government used to prosecute Joe Sandberg, who has now been sentenced to 14 years in prison. And the same people, the same whistleblowers, the two of them who are Aspiration employees, also specifically say before we reported anything independently that this was carbon credits to circumvent the salary cap for Kawhi Leonard by the Clippers for a sham organic sponsorship agreement, right?

That same episode, we also pointed out— I reported that 5 Aspiration sources said that they were not asked about Steve Ballmer. They were not asked. And so the question of what does the NBA do and how do they do it strategically? Well, you find out what you want to find out, and you don't ask the questions that can lead to answers that you don't want to know because you have an outcome that you're driving to, an outcome that you have a sense of because you're smart and because you're run by lawyers, and all you got to do is make sure that nothing gets in the way of the outcome you want to determine.

While saying the entire time that the people investigating this are independent, which is the— you're paying them. You're paying them. Uh, Juju, uh, @LevitardShow on the polls. We got a number of things to get to, but first, uh, Juju, did you have any thoughts? You're a— you are or were until recently a Celtics guy. Where are you on the Jaylen Brown conversation?

Man, I think that, uh, this Chris Johnson ALS, uh, situation is a harsh reminder that these athletes we talk so vigorously and forcefully about, they humans just like us, man. And I'm not trying to sway nobody's opinion or anything. You can think what you think, but I think there should be some type of reward for a young millionaire brother who's never been arrested, never had no domestic disputes, never no scandals.. And I think that reward could be a bit of understanding, in my opinion. You feel me? Because seeing yourself talked about so negatively by hundreds of people who you ain't never met can be tricky to navigate, especially for somebody in their 20s. You feel me? So, and this is a person who's the youngest person to ever lecture at Harvard. So expecting him to have those book smarts and street smarts in areas, I think we can lend the brother a little bit of grace.

Would the trophy for understanding have the under the stand? Like you put the stand on, but there's no trophy. There's just something under it.

And then would Messi ride it like there's no tomorrow.

Okay, enough of that. What is— do you have a Joker of the weekend for us, Juju?

Yes, sir, man. Man, I love it when anybody talks about the W, man. Come on, we have come so far from me and Rene Montgomery being the only people in the gym watching the Dream play. But my brother Chris Bosh this weekend, while giving praise, he had this to say.

Check this out. They're 15-4, the Lynx are. They're 15-4 right now, okay? 9-1 on the road. They have a tremendous backcourt with Courtney Williams, with Kayla McBride, with Olivia Miller. If you haven't seen Olivia Miller, I'm not even gassing her or anything. She's cold. She can play.

Her name is Olivia Miles and she is the Rookie of the Year. Back to you, Dano.

Tough luck, Chris. Tough luck.

Well, he was trying. He was—

Tough luck.

Do you have for us an aura killer? Because— Oh, yeah. I did a whole bunch of aura killing on today's show in a variety of different ways. How would you assign an award for aura killing, man?

And I'm talking about no matter how great of a player you are, there is just something about these Washington Wizards jerseys, bro. Seeing my brother AJ Devonta in this jersey, the aura is not there, brother. This is my public plea to the Wizards: new jerseys this year. Some kind of way, where there's a wheel, there's a new jersey.

I don't agree. I think they remind me of the old Bullets jerseys, which I think look good. It's the undershirt there, Juju, that takes— that loses the aura. It's the Hanes shirt underneath.

Chris Cody vigorously agreed with Juju. He does not like this uniform.

Yeah, well, in a debate about aura between Juju and Zazz, we all We all know what we're saying.

To America.

Before we get to Juju's polls here, we will do that in a second. Aren't you celebrating and honoring Zaslo tomorrow night? Are you not celebrating him at Las Rosas?

Yeah, I have a party that's at Las Rosas tomorrow called Dad Rock Forever, every Tuesday, and I'll be DJing there with the recent new Miami New Times winner, best dance DJ in Miami, Generous B. That's my back-to-back partner there, and we will be honoring Jonathan Zaslow, our first ever Dad of Honor. Now when we play Dad Rock, it's classic rock, '90s rock, and this genre called butt rock. You know what that means?

No.

Get ready to learn Pearl Jam, buddy.

Hell yeah.

What time, uh, what time is this?

It begins early start time per request from our Dad of Honor. We're getting after it early. 5 o'clock. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 5 o'clock. Most happy hours start there, so 5 o'clock, great happy hour specials at Las Rosas tomorrow, and we'll be going to close to 10 PM. So 5 PM, come out in honors as our dad of honor.

Oh yeah, I'm gonna get that early bird dinner and head straight on over.

Uh, what is butt rock?

Nickelback, Stained, uh, Saliva, Creed. Yeah, that Things that were played on rock radio mostly that wasn't nu metal around like the early 2000s.

So Zazz, you'll be there 5 to 10?

Good?

No, no, I'll be there 5. I'll be there 5, okay? You know, time that I leave, to be determined. But I'll be there at 5.

To celebrate what an amazing dad you are, and then like a true dad, you're checking out long before 10.

Gotta get home.

@LevitarShow on the polls, Juju, what do we have today?

Are there people in the circus who are not freaks? 63% of the audience says no, there are not.

Yeah, damn, told y'all.

Did the Batman and Robin relationship have a weird beginning? 91% of the audience says yes, they did.

Yeah, told y'all.

Is Robin a superhero? 59% of the audience says no, he is not.

Yeah.

Flying Graysons. Is the bagpipe the worst of all musical instruments?

Yeah.

58% of the audience says no. Worst instrument: the bagpipe, the harmonica, or the accordion? 53% of the audience says the accordion.

Yeah.

The harp should have been in there somewhere. I think the harp is skating on this one.

Polka polka polka.

I think the harp is going to hell, Dan. And there was a poll that I just said I'm not putting that up. I said I'm not putting that up because Dan, you, you are a Miami representative. If I put that Ed poll up, you're gonna have people coming at you from all angles because that Ed Reed was so much of a blunder. Yeah, but last poll, should there be a his moniker? 59% of the audience says yes, and those are your polls.

Yeah.

See y'all.

Never.
