19年可愛舅舅的各種要求 被Buss拒絕
Jeanie Buss immediately informed Uncle Dennis that the requests breached league rules and salary cap regulations.
During Kawhi Leonard's 2019 free agency, his uncle and advisor, Dennis
Robertson, reportedly asked then-Lakers owner Jeanie Buss for impermissible perks that violated the NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement, including team ownership, a private jet, a house, and guaranteed endorsement money. Buss rejected the requests as illegal.
The Alleged Demands
Team Ownership: A partial equity stake in the franchise.
Private Jet: Unlimited and constant access to a private plane.
Housing: A place to live provided by the organization.
Endorsements: Guaranteed off-court revenue streams.
Lakers Response and Fallout
Rejection: Jeanie Buss immediately informed Robertson that the requests
breached league rules and salary cap regulations.
Leverage Belief: Team officials grew to feel the Lakers were only being used as leverage while Leonard intended to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers.
Similar Outreach: Reports later surfaced that similar extra-contractual
requests were floated to other prospective franchises like the Toronto
Raptors.
這兩天湖人reddit的討論
在 2019 年 Kawhi Leonard 成為自由球員期間，他的叔叔兼顧問 Dennis Robertson 據報導曾向當時的湖人隊老闆 Jeanie Buss 索取違反 NBA 勞資協議（CBA）的非法特權，其中包括球隊股權、私人飛機、房產以及保證的贊助金。Buss 當場以違規為由拒絕了這些要求。
據當時傳提出的要求：
球隊股權：獲得球隊的部分少數股權。
私人飛機：無限制且可隨時使用的私人飛機。
住房：由球隊組織提供住處。
贊助合約：保證獲得球場外的商業收入來源。
湖人隊的回應與後續：
當場拒絕：Jeanie Buss 立即告知「舅舅（Uncle Dennis）」，這些要求完全違反了聯盟規定與薪資上限制度。
遭當籌碼的疑慮：湖人高層逐漸感覺到，球隊只是被當作談判籌碼，因為 Leonard 本人早已打算加盟洛杉磯快艇隊。
類似的試探：後續報導指出，Leonard 團隊當時也向其他有意招攬的球隊（如多倫多暴龍隊）提出了類似合約外的額外要求。
