He is saying that he just introduced Kawhi Leonard to Aspiration (partner of the Clippers) because they want to meet Kawhi. About the contract they did with Kawhi, he knows nothing about it.
Well, it won’t be good for Leonard if Ballmer takes the position that he supposedly knows nothing.
As I suggested earlier, there’s a possibility Leonard could be made a scapegoat in this situation, and Ballmer’s comments only increase that possibility.
If that is the case, then we might witness another "not" good relationship between the owner and the player. It could damage the whole franchise of the Clippers, and I think Ballmer is trying to avoid that from happening. Although I believe he chose the wrong path.
What do you guys think about this article created by this website?

If Kawhi Leonard's contract is voided, no other destination makes for sense than the Los Angeles Lakers.If Leonard's contract were to be voided, and the desire to continue playing in 2025-26 existed after the dust settled, this is where the Los Angeles Lakers come in. It would offer Rob Pelinka a chance at a borderline superstar for pennies on the dollar.
Too good to be true? It will cost them a lot in luxury tax if they do that. As was said in the same article, even other teams will have a hard time signing Kawhi with a contract so big that it will just damage their salary cap.
are they trying to oust Ballmer as the clippers owner? while the clippers are ready to assist the investigators regarding the allegation, i hope that its not about politics issue in the organization, of the clippers, if Leonard will be found guilty is he going to get banned in the NBA or there will be a suspension, hopefully not since i want to see him compete again in the playoffs.
