Donald Sterling: Dont bring people to my games!!!

[Coverdatspred]

Very well done Silver, you have just earned more of my respect in 5 mins than Stern had in decades.

 

[Coverdatspred]

Sterling is gonna go down fighting. Just watch.

 

[KowboyKarl]

Now how do they get him to sell.

#32

 

[~Utah]

hes gonna take this to court and obviously win

Lisa Gurrero bringing the HEAT.

She is still hot with some big hooters..

 

[Coverdatspred]

She is still hot with some big hooters..

yup always been a fav of mine.

 

[hugh613]

I guess this means you can't threaten to kill your coach or bring guns into the locker room anymore...

 

[orangemonk]

wow I jumped the gun listening to social media... great job by Silver / the NBA

 

[Coverdatspred]

Million dollar question. Do the owners have the balls to vote the 75% needed to force a sale?

 

[KJ]

Perfect timing for new commish to just say he couldn't control the past but can bring the heat now

 

[KJ]

Million dollar question. Do the owners have the balls to vote the 75% needed to force a sale?

I would say no

Cuban said what a slippery slope it would be, none of those guys really want to set themselves up for something similar

 

[Coverdatspred]

He basically handed out the max that his position would allow and also promised to spearhead the process to remove him from ownership.

 

[hugh613]

Million dollar question. Do the owners have the balls to vote the 75% needed to force a sale?

Sure, why not? This probably doesn't happen if not for PR, so why risk having someone leak that you voted to keep him around?

 

[B.A.R.]

Yeah, that has to be his stance.

 

[Coverdatspred]

Thats what I'm wondering about once that can is opened it can't be closed. This however would be as good of a chance as any to remove someone. They would certainly have public backing.

 

[Coverdatspred]

Cuban has already more or less said he'd vote against a forced sell. I doubt he's alone.

 

[~Utah]

what happens if the forced sale doesnt get passed?

 

[braves]

Couldn't he just hand the ownership to a family member?

Give nba credit for taking hard line stance. Not sure how courts will look at this

 

[orangemonk]

what happens if the forced sale doesnt get passed?

might be the scenario that silver wants... take the hard stance against sterling but avoid a long legal battle

 

[nbafan88]

Sterling is gonna go down fighting. Just watch.

Most likely.

 

[KJ]

yeah that's what I'm thinking, I doubt it passes

 

[hugh613]

So is Sterling basically a Goodell?

 

[CASH]

Million dollar question. Do the owners have the balls to vote the 75% needed to force a sale?

Already done...

 

[B.A.R.]

He continues to get all the profits.

 

[Lareux]

Right. And they all know that Sterling would just end up filing an anti-trust lawsuit if he's "forced" to sell. If he can't get the true market value for his team, since anyone knowing that he HAS to sell will just low-ball all offers, he would most likely win an anti-trust lawsuit. Cuban's comments were all spot-on, and his line of thinking is probably more in line with the other owners (as opposed to the "outraged" public/players/etc).

 

[Lareux]

Already done...

They haven't voted as to the forced sale of the team yet. (at least I haven't seen anything saying they did) Did you read something that no one else has seen? The owners have been "urged" to force a sale by Silver....that's the only thing they've said about it.

 

[SIGO]

He would have gotten in a lot less trouble if he would have beaten his girlfriend's ass. Kinda interesting

 

[orangemonk]

he'll get full market value, there will be more than one buyer, they will create a bidding war against each other, resulting in fair market value.

 

[braves]

Sounds like he already has support of owners

Several groups with desire to purchase Clippers are already stepping forward, with a bidding war expected to exceed $1 billion for Clippers.

You don't make a public statement like that unless you have the votes..

 

[guaranteeed]

Silver all ready best commis in sports

 

[guaranteeed]

Stern would have looked the other way

 

[orangemonk]

You don't make a public statement like that unless you have the votes..

yes you do, because that's Silver's recommendation. shows the NBA wants him out. good pub.

 

[hugh613]

How did Magic come into so much money anyways? His movie theatres?

 

[Lareux]

You don't make a public statement like that unless you have the votes..

His comment was "urging" them to do it. If they already had the votes lined up, he would have just said so.

 

[CASH]

he'll get full market value, there will be more than one buyer, they will create a bidding war against each other, resulting in fair market value.

Bingo.. They could also set a minimum bid at fair market ..

 

[braves]

That's what I'm thinking, he took an unofficial vote already

Residuals from 'The Magic Hour'

 

[Lareux]

He doesn't have that much money. He's simply the "face" on these ownership groups.

 

[~Utah]

Mike Tirico compares Sterling to Russia

that bastard

 

[Lareux]

He could, but his lawyers can still argue that he would have gotten more from a sale if this incident never took place. I'm not saying he's right, but that's definitely what his lawyers will do.

Your kidding right????

 

[~Utah]

according to my sources Magic is worth 500 million

 

[nbafan88]

I think there's a 100% chance it passes if it's public

 

[guaranteeed]

Ya was just gonna say

He has about 500m in assets

 

[Lareux]

Your kidding right????

No, I'm not. He's not the main money guy, or even close to it. His ownership stake in the Dodgers is 2-3%.

 

[nbafan88]

Magic is not going to buy it on his own

 

[~Utah]

Magic is not going to but it on his own

really
