On September 26, there is less than a month left before the start of the new NBA regular season. Regarding the suspected Yin-Yang contract of Clippers star Leonard, famous reporter Dan Woike published an article, which focused on the relevant information of Leonard's uncle Dennis Robertson.

Dennis Robertson has been deeply involved in Leonard's communication with the Spurs' medical team, which has become the main source of the deterioration of the emerging superstar's relationship with the parent team. At that time, Leonard was awarded the best defensive player for two consecutive years and was hailed as the top offensive and defensive player in the league. The two sides had a disagreement over his mysterious quadriceps injury, which eventually prompted Leonard to file a trade request, and the Spurs eventually traded it to the Raptors.

When the Lakers pursued Leonard in 2019, Dennis Robertson not only asked for a maximum salary contract, but also required unlimited use of private jets and a luxury home, and guaranteed off-site endorsement revenue. He even asked for some equity in the team, just as Magic Johnson, who was forced to retire early due to HIV infection 25 years ago, received from the Lakers. In the NBA's view, these requirements are all acts of evading the salary cap, and were rejected by the Lakers.

But Dennis Robertson made these requests time and time again. The Lakers have repeatedly informed their requests that violate the NBA labor-management agreement. Outside the negotiating table, Lakers management once ridiculed Dennis Robertson for his boldness. Team owner Jenny Buss emphasized the absurdity of these requirements in person, and suggested that Dennis Robertson try to get other teams to agree to these terms in writing.

In this regard, several sources interviewed by TA described Dennis Robertson's image as follows: he is both a staunch supporter of his nephew and has no scruples when requesting special treatment for matters of all sizes and big. The outside world's reaction to his style of conduct was severely polarized, some respondents were hostile to him, while others understood his motivation and marveled at his courageousness that was different from ordinary people.

A former team employee said: "I find it very interesting. I appreciate this straightforward style - 'He is my nephew and the team leader, we should enjoy all the treatment'."

An executive revealed that if Dennis Robertson took a fancy to a sweatshirt distributed by a team on the training ground, he would use the same persistent attitude that asked for additional benefits during the negotiations in 2019 and try every means to get it on the same day.

In addition, there are reports that Dennis Robertson was dissatisfied in 2018, which led to the breakdown of the negotiations for renewal between Leonard and AJ and parting ways. Leonard turned to sign an endorsement contract with New Balance, which was said to be more profitable.
