on the contrary, this is the best thing to ever happen to the Clips
They won't win it this year now I think, and this was probably their best chance to do it for a very long time
Paul and Griffin are locked up with a lot of others expiring. They're in an ok spot for the next few years.

clearly an old man making a fool of himself in private is much worse than being a homophobic suspected rapist, then
Silver did a press conference around an hour or so ago.

Yeah.
Poor side note, but there's not a lot that can be done about it. The team is his property. I suppose they could try and contract the team out of the league and then add an expansion team, but even with that they'd have to compensate him.
Sterling was why they've been so bad for so long.
This is great news for the franchise honestly.

I understand also that a forced sale requires a vote of the other owners. Not sure that will pass, but Sterling's only options are sell or sue. And if he sues then he settles and probably still sells the team.

It's believed he will get the backing of every owner

On ownership super majority needed to vote Sterling out, one Board of Governor tells Yahoo: "Adam has the votes - all of them, I believe."
He was already racist and already profited, so not sure what's new except that now we're talking about it. Not sure he's actually profiting from his racism, and I would think the sale price of the team is damaged through his comments, so I'm not sure I would put it in those words.
Wow, very surprised if the new Commissioner gets all owners to vote on a forced sale.
Rumors were Cuban may abstain because he isn't a fan of the precedent, but he may come around. He agrees with the punishment...just not sure if he digs the thought of an owner being forced out (wonder why he would worry about that lol).
Part of the lesson in all this has to be: it's not good to have no friends; if you have no friends, maybe the problem is with you.

Sterling says Clippers are not for sale. He doesn't seem to regret anything of this and is just playing stubborn.
Well done Adam Silver though!
