[Russo] The players for the San Diego Clippers, the Clippers’ G League affiliate in Oceanside, will live “about 100 yards” from the arena and training center in a brand-new condo complex. Lawrence Frank said he’s excited about what that could mean for them.

  1. Thought this was really cool of daddy Ballmer to add to the new G-League facility and is a huge value-added benefit to attract promising G-League talent to SD. I know it hasn’t paid off yet, but it’s not said enough how lucky the Clips were to be bought by such a dedicated owner.

  2. Interestingly (per Twitter comments) the free rent is not employee compensation for the players and doesn’t count towards their compensation (required to be at least $40.5k/6 months) for tax purposes under section 119 of the IRC, permitted it’s required as a condition of their employment. So shout-out to the American tax code too.
