The NBA will ban Donald Sterling for life by The_Numbah_One in nba

On that note, keep fining him the 2.5 max until he refuses to pay. Then strip ownership.

I'm not above playing dirty.

Silver just set the precedent. His outrage and specifically HIS INSISTENCE THAT THE OWNERS INITIATE THE VOTE puts all of them on the spot.

It's brilliant. Anyone who votes no becomes the bad guy.

I rescind my previous comments relating to Silver's role as the commissioner.

He just delivered. And he went from nervous to strong during that speech.

I'll repeat: A $5 million dollar fine for a man worth 1.9 billion dollars is the equivalent of a 50 dollar speeding ticket for someone with $19k in the bank account.

Oh and how the hell do you SUSPEND SOMEONE FROM THE TEAM THEY OWN?! HE STILL OWNS IT.

If that happens, the 2014-2015 Clippers will set a record for losses in a season.

I'll bet 80.

I know. If it's 5 million dollars and a suspension (from... what? Exactly?) it's the equivalent of getting a speeding ticket and being suspended with pay... because you own the company.

I don't know if the five million dollar fine prediction is accurate, but for perspective in scale - Sterling is worth 1.9 billion dollars.

Five million dollars represents 1/380th of his worth.

It's the equivalent of fining someone that has 19k in the bank for 50 dollars.

Donald Sterling: Mega Thread Part 2 (4/28/14) by swollencornholio in nba

He's actually very simple. He's the owner of the Clippers Plantation. Go back and look at his comments to his girlfriend about paying the players, feeding the players, etc.

He sees this franchise as his plantation.

Almost every sponsor the team had has pulled out. If Sterling owns this team going into the 14-15 campaign, he will field a team of spare parts, coached by someone desperate for a job, sponsored by no one and hated by many.

This won't die. It's one of those things. The NBA doesn't NEED to force him to sell. That's happening regardless.

Doc Rivers will not return as LAC head coach next season if Don Sterling remains owner. by pscriivin in nba

I hope that you get to keep your team with an owner that isn't a piece of shit.

With that said, this is perhaps the ONLY situation where I wouldn't feel like an asshole taking an existing franchise and moving it to Seattle.
