A lot of independent media is hot takes & partisan claptrap presented as news. It’s hard to do serious investigative journalism without legacy media resources. That makes @PabloTorre’s run of big scoops — @NFLPA, Belichick’s gf’s influence & now this — all the more impressive.

Exclusive: Kawhi Leonard signed a $28M endorsement deal for a "no-show job" with a fraudulent tree-planting company funded by $50M from Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, according to documents obtained by @PabloTorre. "It was to circumvent the salary cap," an inside source says.
