With the many "hot takes" in the past 10 days about the Clippers/Kawhi
Leonard, it's been surprising (though maybe it shouldn't be) that until now
no reporter has bothered to reach out to me for the facts about that
contract. This is what I told the NY Times/Athletic today:
在过去10天关于快艇/Kawhi的"大胆假设"到处传，我很惊讶(或许也不该)直到现在没有任
何一位记者主动联系我，询问关于这份合约的真相。以下是我今天告诉纽约时报/The
Athletic的内容：
(注:Cherny目前在民主党搞政治 建制派的 夏天有主持一个针对纽约市长候选人曼达尼的
计画 说要组成民主党的复仇者联盟 不过这是题外话 总之他一直都在公众视野下活动就是
了。)

The claim that the contract with Kawhi Leonard was a "no show" contract is
false. The contract contained three pages of extensive obligations that
Leonard had to perform. And the contract clearly said that if Leonard did not
meet those obligations, Aspiration could terminate the contract. The “beliefs
” provision is not unusual in celebrity endorsements and merely means we can
’t do something like make a vegetarian eat meat as a way of forcing them to
break the contract. It doesn’t mean you can have a “belief” of not talking
to a camera.
In the months of discussion among our executives before signing the
sponsorship, I don’t remember conversations about the NBA salary cap. I
signed the contract shortly before I submitted my resignation, but before I
left there were numerous internal conversations about the various things
Aspiration was planning to do with Leonard once the 2022-23 season began,
including emails from the marketing team about their plans in just the week
before my last day. I can’t speak to what was done or not done after I left
– or why.
Joe Sanberg is now pleading guilty to criminal acts that were among the
reasons that I decided to resign from Aspiration in 2022 and that the company
eventually went bankrupt. Those now calling our company a “fraud” are
blaming the victims. Along with all our customers and investors, it is those
of us who worked at Aspiration and gave years of our lives to its mission who
were hurt most by what Sanberg did.
关于与Kawhi Leonard签订的合约是"挂名合约"的说法是错误的。合约中包含三页Leonard
必须履行的广泛义务。而且合约中明确规定，如果Leonard 未能履行这些义务，
Aspiration有权终止合约。"信仰"条款在名人代言中并不罕见，它仅仅意味着我们不能强
迫某人做违背其信仰的事，例如强迫素食者吃肉来让他们违约。这并不代表你可以声称
"相信"自己不必接受镜头访问。
在我们高层就赞助事宜展开数月讨论期间，我不记得有关于NBA薪资上限的谈话。我在递交
辞呈前不久签下了这份合约，但在我离职之前，公司内部有许多讨论，涉及Aspiration打
算在2022-23赛季开始后如何与Leonard合作，其中还包括来自行销团队的电子邮件，讨论
他们在我最后工作周计画的内容。在我离开后发生或未发生的事情
