Was Bill Simmons right? Is the Clippers front office as messed up as he says? According to a report by TMZ Sports, it is, and it is affecting the Clippers players.
One of the first moves new Clippers owner Steve Ballmer made after buying the club for a record $2 billion was hire Gillian Zucker as the new President of Business Ooperations. Zucker, who had served as president of the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA for 9 years.
It seems that the hiring of Zucker has lead to a divide among Clippers executives, with some reports that Zucker is overstepping her role, and getting involved in the basketball side of things, which, according to title, should be handled by Doc Rivers, the Clippers President of Basketball Operations.
