Looking for genuine discourse re: Donald Sterling/NBA

tl/dr


But what it comes down to it is the NBA is a private entity made up of 30 owners. If you have signed up to it you must adhere to certain rules. If all the other 29 owners don't think you are fit to be operating the team, then they are perfectly within their rights to vote you out, under the NBA constitution. They key point here is the NBA is a private entity - this is nothing to do with whether or not he has broken the Law.

This is exactly right. This should have been the end of the discussion.

anyone watch the post-game interview last night with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin?

Seems like they're just tired of the entire situation and wish they'd stop getting asked questions about it.

It must be annoying to the players to have so much focus to be on that aspect of the situation rather than the game they just played.

Blake Griffin referred to it as "clutter"

Yup. I can only imagine. It must of weighed on them heavily during the latter part of their post season.

....it has NOT ended! Sterling is gonna sue, the NBA is gonna keep fighting it, and until the old man dies, we will be bombarded with endless opinions, viewpoints and observations on both sides! I hope you don't stop making yours Dutch!......they're very good!
 
So if he puts the team in his wife's name, I believe she was already co-owner anyway, and the league votes to oust him, does she go as well, guilt by association kind of thing? Seems odd.

thats what i said in another thread.

from what i have read his wife will oversee the sale of clips.

so in a way sterling has given up and is not fighting it. contrary to popular opinion he was gonna fight
 
Frankly I don't think his heart has ever really been in it from the beginning. Not really sure other than for the prestige why he stayed an owner this long.
 
It's just so he can control who the team is sold to. In other words, he makes sure
Magic doesn't get it.
