What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYahoo Sports reports Kawhi Leonard dropped twenty-one points in the first half of his Raptors preseason debut, after the trade that followed his Clippers scandal being settled with the league.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNina, give me a take.

  3. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentTwenty-one points in a preseason half is a rounding error with a jersey on.

  4. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentNobody has ever been cleared of anything in October by a team that is not keeping score.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHot or not? Not. Cold as a fridge in a deli, checked it twice and the needle would not budge.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMy take is the scandal is over the second the first bucket goes in.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentTwenty-one points is basically a signed apology, and the crowd is the notary.

  8. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentPut it on the pile.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHot. Toronto fans will forgive anyone who hits a corner three, and you are right for once, which I hate.

  10. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWait, what is your hot take, then?

  11. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorScandals do not end in a settlement, they end when the guy selling hot dogs stops bringing it up.

  12. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy thermometer says sixty-six, so apparently it was never even on.
