Depends on how much money you think he cost the league. And how much you think his family name will cost the league.

If the league wanted to, they could just terminate the franchise and then re-establish a "new" one in LA. The Sterling's wouldn't get shit. They are doing him a favor by having him sell it.

I don't believe that is true.

Maybe Silver will force sale to V Stiviano or whatever that woman's name is.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

:lol: It always comes back to Jerry.

Showing the IQ again today Frank.

Reinsdorf is his longtime friend and maybe the only person Sterling might listen to.

But you keep doing what you do.

WELCOME TO CSFMB, MOTHERFUCKER!

You said its not true. It is true. Plain as day:

but it also includes a provision for termination when an owner “fails to fulfill” a “contractual obligation” in “such a way as to affect the [NBA] or its members adversely


I would say this affected the NBA and other owners adversely. Therefore, grounds for termination.

Not sure many of know what kind of guy Sterling is, these types of guys just dont listen to anyone, they have an army of Lawyers on call. he will not sell this team. It's not about the money now. The other owners can vote whatever they want, this guy will not comply with anything they agree on.

And a ton of this is on Reinsdorf to broker this resolution. No, not formally, but if there is someone who can talk to Sterling it is him. Sterling is going to put Jerry in a place that he will need to vote against him and force him out. even then, that mess will take years.

WELCOME TO CSFMB, MOTHERFUCKER!

I would say the more likely thing would be for them to vote that the team be put into a trust managed by the league with Sterling as the beneficiary, but even that isn't likely.

You would say?

I would say that clause is there for extreme economic affect given the language surrounding it unless you feel there is some verbal contract to not be a bad guy. Like I said, Lester is just throwing a bunch of stuff together for conversation.

And you just automatically assume that Jerry is ready, willing, and able to get involved in such a mess?

You're the one with the IQ on display here, biggie.

So you wouldn't say that fucking up the playoffs, Losing team and league fanbase, Losing ticket sales for Clippers and away games, losing advertising and licensing fees on Clippers stuff, more than likely tilting the competition in the league since no one will not want to play for that franchise, getting the league painted as a league run by racists, ect. would be an extreme economic affect?

There was a time that Sterling didnt give a shit about the team. They lost money, they didnt try, they just didnt care.

He kept the team for his own amusement.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

That's probably why so many owners liked him. He sat on a goldmine and didn't do anything with it. Keep the status quo, don't raise expenses for everyone else. Conversely, that's why they don't like Cuban.

Speculative losses and a drop in the bucket even if all could be proven. More to the point when they say contractual obligation they are not talking about some ambiguous, unwritten agreement. See, Lester is bullshitting because there are three parts to that: 1. a contract; 2. failure to fulfill; and, 3. adverse affect...and there is no number 1.

There is a number 1 - The owners constitution which he agreed to. That is a binding agreement between the owners.

One of his Sterling's better friends in an exclusive club of 30? A guy whose loyalty is reknown? Ummmmmmm, yes?

STATEMENT FROM CHICAGO BULLS AND WHITE SOX CHAIRMAN JERRY REISNDORF & CHICAGO BULLS PRESIDENT AND COO MICHAEL REINSDORF

We completely support Commissioner Silver’s decision today regarding Clippers owner Donald Sterling, and praise him for his prompt investigation and action. The Commissioner was correct to ban Mr. Sterling from all official NBA business, to levy the stiffest allowable fine, and we will support his recommendation to press for Mr. Sterling to relinquish his ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers franchise. We believe Commissioner Silver’s decision reflects the best interests of the NBA and public civility.

The league’s decision underscores the severity and reprehensible nature of the comments attributed to Donald Sterling. These comments in no way reflect the attitude, values, and culture of the Bulls and White Sox organizations. This behavior cannot be tolerated in any form.

Discrimination and prejudice of any kind have no place in sports or in our society.
