ESPN记者Don Van Natta Jr.、Baxter Holmes和Ramona Shelburne联合撰文报道,据三位了解NBA与快船近期讨论情况的人士透露,NBA目前未发现有证据证明快船老板鲍尔默通过球队赞助商向科怀·伦纳德输送资金以规避工资帽。

A long-awaited reunion that captured nationwide public attention unfolded on Sunday evening: American teacher Ronald Sakolsky and Yin Yuzhen, a model worker renowned for planting trees and combating desertification, reunited and embraced tearfully with overwhelming emotion at an airport in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, across 27 years and the separation of the ocean.
In 1999, Sakolsky raised $5,000 to fund Yin's tree-planting initiative. The young saplings bought with the donation have since matured into more than 50,000 full-grown trees in the once-barren Mu Us Desert in Inner Mongolia.
Yin waited at the arrival gate very early, the Global Times reporter observed, as she murmured English sentence she particularly learned for this occasion "Welcome to China my brother." She wore an outfit with green shade, as "green is the color of the Earth."
According to Yin, she and her family has prepared for the reunion steamed buns, meaning "upward," and vegetables and fruits picked from the land transformed from desert.
Yin's eyes were fixed on the escalator, and wiped out tears multiple times during the waiting time as travelers come in groups.
Sakolsky said in earlier interview with the Global Times that he looked forward to this reunion and cannot hold his tears when he thought of the moment. He was about to give Yin a hug when they meet.
When Sakolsky finally appeared in front of Yin, both people's eyes welled up with tears. Stepping off the elevator, Sakolsky could barely contain his excitement, muttering "Oh my God, oh my God." They hurried toward each other and locked in a tight embrace at last - the long‑awaited hug 27 years in the making, the Global Times saw.
"This is a dream come true, from a lady who is the hero of the story, not me," Sakolsky told the Global Times at the airport, barely holding his emotion. "She made a promise 27 years ago, and she kept her promise. I never thought I would see her again. It is a miracle."
"Brother" is one of the words Yin specially learned to greet Sakolsky and the American friend told media that "we are brother and sister now. 27 years ago, we were just friends and acquaintances."
So much has happened since then, but the important thing is many people have seen the story. And now they can also help to make China beautiful, Sakolsky noted.
"When I hugged her the first time, she stood like this, she was very scared. Chinese women do not hug men especially foreigners in public. But this time is exception, we are brother and sister now," he said.
。相反,两位消息人士称,NBA的关注焦点在于球队将伦纳德介绍给赞助商的行为是否构成违反联盟禁止规避工资帽的规定。
针对ESPN的报道,快船官方发表声明,具体如下:
快船曾将包括科怀·伦纳德在内的球员引荐给我们有业务往来的公司。在球队和球队合作伙伴之间进行引荐,既是NBA球队的常规做法,也是球员及其代表普遍提出的要求。此后,科怀及其代表自行处理了谈判事宜。快船并未参与谈判或决定科怀代言协议的条款,也未确定他的报酬金额。
我们的商业关系基于其自身价值而建立。我们选择赞助商、供应商及其他商业伙伴,均是依据正常的商业考量,包括他们所提供的价值、产品和服务质量,以及满足我们业务需求的能力。我们并未向任何供应商超额付款,也未向任何赞助商、供应商或商业伙伴提供折扣或其他优惠条件,以变相向科怀输送资金。
球员与球队的某家商业伙伴存在代言关系,这一事实本身并不构成规避工资帽的证据。
经过近一年的审查,核心事实依然真实且未变:快船并没向科怀·伦纳德输送资金,没安排他人代表我们向其支付报酬,也未以其他方式在其NBA合同之外向其提供未公开的补偿。
