Highlights
  • The new material frames Aspiration as a partially Ballmer-backed enterprise courting top players, adding weight to questions about how endorsements intersect with cap rules.
  • That would have brought the total compensation for Leonard to $48 million, which was very close to the $50 million Ballmer invested in the company
  • The NBA will decide on potential violations of salary-cap rules, with the possibility of severe sanctions if proven.
