僅節錄主要跟可愛或Ballmer相關的部分
代言公司本身的問題部分跳掉
有興趣可以點進去看全文
雖然我是不太懂為什麼是賽隊的隨隊記者john karalis跟波士頓媒體的BSJ會出獨家報導…
所以就先當成花邊看看吧
The $28 million deal was to be paid in quarterly installments over four years, b
ut it was not the only compensation Leonard received. According to a high-level
source, Leonard also cut a side deal with Aspiration to receive an additional $2
0 million in company stock. The stock was to be paid out from Sanberg’s persona
l holdings in the company over four years.
28M並不是可愛獲得的唯一報酬。根據高層消息人士的說法，可愛還跟Aspiration達成另一
附加協議，額外獲得價值20M的公司股票，由創立者Sanberg的個人持股當中支付，分四年付
清。
The commitment from Ballmer was also curious, as he paid a higher price for his
shares than others. The Oak Tree commitment to Aspiration came at $10 a share, b
ut Ballmer paid a premium of $11 per share, raising his overall investment to $5
0 million. Typically, an investor of Ballmer’s caliber would have been wooed wi
th a discounted share price, so the company could tout the investment of a major
player.
Ballmer的投資也令人費解，因為他支付的股價也比別人高，Oak Tree 對Aspiration的投資
是每股10美，但Ballmer的投資是每股11美的溢價，導致投資總額達到50M。但一般來說像Ba
llmer這種級別的投資者應該會被以折扣方式 折扣價吸引入股，好讓公司能以重量級投資者
的加入作為宣傳。
At this point, the $48 million commitment by Aspiration to Leonard and Ballme’
s $50 million investment stand as two separate transactions. The league is curre
ntly investigating whether there is a connection that circumvented salary cap ru
les.
目前這48M代言跟Ballmer的50M投資仍被視為兩筆獨立的交易，但聯盟正在調查兩者之間是
否存在規避薪資上限的關聯。
Aspiration has since filed for bankruptcy. The Clippers' endorsement deal was en
ded early due to breach of contract. Leonard never received any actual money in
the $20 million stock deal as the shares never went liquid. He is also still owe
d a portion of the original $28 million. His LLC, KL2 Aspire LLC, is listed amon
g the creditors in the bankruptcy filing.
Aspiration 已申請破產，快艇的代言協議因違約而提前終止。可愛並未實際的從這20M股票
拿到任何錢，這些股票從未流通變現。原本的28M代言費也還有部分尚未付給可愛，可愛的
公司KL2 Aspire LLC在破產文件上也被列為債權人。
——————
總之就是可愛的代言約為28M代言費+20M股票 總價48M
跟Ballmer承諾投資的50M很接近
而且Ballmer溢價入股的部分不太正常
不過因為沒流通的關係 股票部分目前對可愛來說沒有變成任何實際的錢
