News crossing the Bloomberg terminal. We're learning that the NBA has suspended Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer. Of course, Steve Ballmer, the former CEO of Microsoft who bought the Clippers, has now been suspended for one year for violating salary cap rules. Bloomberg's Randall Williams joins us right now to talk a little bit more about this. And this all seems to link back to an investigation involving one of their players Kawhi Leonard.
彭博终端传来消息。我们获悉,NBA已暂停洛杉矶快船队老板史蒂夫·鲍尔默的职务。当然,微软前首席执行官、快船队老板史蒂夫·鲍尔默因违反工资帽规则,已被停职一年。彭博社的兰德尔·威廉姆斯现在连线我们,进一步谈谈此事。这一切似乎都与涉及他们一名球员科怀·伦纳德的调查有关。
What happened. Yeah. So the NBA began an investigation into salary cap circumvention by the Los Angeles Clippers to pay Kawhi Leonard. Basically endorsement deals that were not disclosed. And so the reason that this is a big violation is the salary cap, of course, is meant to cap, uh, player pay. Otherwise, billionaires could pay players whatever they want. And essentially that's sort of what was going on in the NBA.
到底发生了什么?是的。NBA开始对洛杉矶快船队规避工资帽以支付科怀·伦纳德薪水进行调查。基本上是一些未披露的代言合同。之所以这是一项重大违规,是因为工资帽旨在限制球员薪酬。否则,亿万富翁可以随意支付给球员任何金额。而本质上,这正是NBA当时正在发生的事情。
Had been investigating this for almost, I want to say almost a year now. And they found, uh, that, that they were essentially guilty. So they're guilty. And so the punishment right now is Ballmer is removed for one year. Uh, Kawhi Leonard himself was fined, uh, $700,000. Uh, the Clippers were stripped of five first round draft picks and fined $30 million. What does that do to the Clippers as a team? I mean, five first round draft pick.
他们对此进行了将近……我想说差不多一年的调查。他们发现,嗯,他们确实有罪。因此,目前的处罚是鲍尔默被禁赛一年。科怀·伦纳德本人被罚款70万美元。快船队被剥夺五个首轮选秀权并被罚款3000万美元。这对快船队作为一支球队意味着什么?我是说,五个首轮选秀权。
It's five years up until 2033, but it essentially cuts their team in half probably for the next ten years. You think about that's somebody being suspended that they can't draft in ninth grade right now. So in terms of their future they're trading Kawhi Leonard away. But the punishment is easily the harshest punishment that we have seen since the NBA removed an owner which was Donald Sterling in the Clippers years ago.
这是直到2033年的五年选秀权,但这基本上意味着他们在未来十年里球队实力将减半。你想想看,这意味着他们现在无法在第九顺位进行选秀。就未来而言,他们交易走了科怀·伦纳德。但这一处罚是自NBA多年前解除快船队老板唐纳德·斯特林职务以来,我们所见过的最严厉的处罚。
Is there any risk that Steve Ballmer would be removed? I doubt it. I think the Donald Sterling at bar is very high end. And of course, we had Robert Sarver years ago who sold the team, uh, for for different allegations. I think that salary cap circumvention is not grounds to remove an owner. And this punishment of $30 million of five first round draft picks being forfeited is huge.
史蒂夫·鲍尔默是否面临被解雇的风险?我怀疑不会。我认为达到唐纳德·斯特林那种程度的门槛非常高。当然,几年前罗伯特·萨弗也因不同指控出售了球队。我认为规避工资帽不足以成为解雇主子的理由。而这3000万美元的罚款以及五个首轮选秀权的 forfeited(丧失)已经是巨大的惩罚。
