Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith says Clippers owner Steve Ballmer is "a stand-up individual," but acknowledged that he's glad he accepted the NBA's punishment.⁠
⁠
“He’s a stand-up individual first and foremost,” Smith told FOS on an upcoming episode of Portfolio Players. “This game is tricky; this game is hard. And obviously we have rules, and the NBA’s gotta do it; I’m glad he accepted it, and we can all just turn the page and move on.”⁠
⁠
The NBA banned Ballmer for a year, fined him $30 million, and docked the Clippers’ five first-round draft picks for deals Kawhi Leonard made with four companies—Aspiration Partners, Boingo Wireless, Daktronics, and Lockton Insurance—that its investigation found violated the league’s cap circumvention rules.⁠
⁠
Smith spoke to FOS shortly after the news that federal prosecutors were investigating the case, and that Ballmer had said he was accepting the NBA’s punishment.⁠
⁠
Ballmer and Smith both made their money in tech, although Ballmer is orders of magnitude wealthier. Ballmer was the CEO of Microsoft, while Smith made his fortune selling survey software company Qualtrics. Smith told FOS Ballmer was one of the first people he spoke to when he bought the Jazz in 2022 for $1.66 billion.⁠
⁠
“I love Steve; I think he’s an incredible owner,” Smith said. “I think the NBA is way better with him. Hopefully he can get back on the horse next year. … I think everyone’s just ready to move on.”⁠
⁠
Smith noted this isn’t the “first time this has happened in the league,” that “these rules have to mean anything,” and that owners are “held to a pretty high standard comparatively.”⁠
