These are some serious allegations, and as we have seen lately with Tasha K, Akademiks, and Jason Lee, independent media aren’t afraid to put things out there if they believe their sources are legit.
This one comes from the Instagram site “Gossip in the City” and takes aims at Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue.
Here is what they had to say on their Twitter account about Lue.
Tyronn Lue and his boy fixes games, so never bet on Clippers or Cavs games. It’s a whole ring, and Tyronn Lue is the leader. The NBA doesn’t care either. Even Woj knows of it. I took the spread on Clippers because that was the fixed. I know two of the girls involved. Tyrone Lue’s co-conspirators who help fix games in Vegas.
It would be hard to believe that Lue, the NBA, and WOJ would all be in a game-fixing scam. Here is what disgrace ref Tim Donaghy had to say about game-fixing.
On June 10, 2008, Donaghy’s attorney filed a court document alleging, among other things, that Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings had been fixed by two referees. The letter states that Donaghy “learned from Referee A that Referees A and F wanted to extend the series to seven games. Tim knew Referees A and F to be ‘company men’, always acting in the interest of the NBA, and that night, it was in the NBA’s interest to add another game to the series.” The Lakers won Game 6, attempting 18 more free throws than the Kings in the fourth quarter and went on to win the 2002 NBA Finals. The teams were not named, but the Western Conference Finals were the only seven-game series that year. The document claimed that Donaghy told federal agents that to increase television ratings and ticket sales, “top executives of the NBA sought to manipulate games using referees.” It also said that NBA officials would tell referees to not call technical fouls on certain players and stated that a referee was privately reprimanded by the league for ejecting a star player in the first quarter of a January 2000 game.[37] Stern denied the accusations, calling Donaghy a “singing, cooperating witness”. Federal authorities investigated Donaghy’s claims and found no evidence to support them. About this, AUSA Jeffrey Goldberg told the court, “we’ve never taken the position that Mr. Donaghy has lied to us. But there is a difference between telling the truth and believing you’re telling the truth and finding out later that a number of the allegations don’t hold any water.”
There is nothing to suggest Lue is involved in anything nefarious to take this report with a grain of salt.
