I guess Doc Rivers doesn't have to quit now. [tweet]493892121112608768[/tweet] [tweet]493887904377106432[/tweet]
A really good read here - http://www.si.com/nba/2014/07/28/ju...-sterling-permits-clippers-sale-steve-ballmer
He'd better do it quick, because from what I heard, the sale immediately is in process since the judge decided, and should be closed by August 15th. EDIT - should have read SPD's article first. Sterling's gone. Thank goodness.
Rush Limbaugh got rejected by the NFL as a part-owner of the Rams for things he didn't say. I can't imagine Sterling being voted in by fellow owners based on what he did say.
It's a tax clusterfuck for the Sterlings. It's that issue that would be driving me nuts if I were Donald Sterling. That, and the fact I lost my 15 man plantation.
Sterling bought the Clips dirt cheap. I don't understand him playing the victim card one bit given the profit he generated on his investment. Him spending half a billion in legal fees alone proves to me that he's probably ready for the drool cup and depends chapter of his life. His wife sure got paid. I'd love to see the Clippers in Seattle with their own arena. Put some distance between this bad blood and the franchise. LA will always belong to the Lakers given the Clips have zero titles. No brainer.
An LA court also found OJ not guilty of 2 extremely heinous murders that everyone knows he committed.
I hope that he just goes away into the night and we never have to hear about him anymore. Unfortunately that likely won't be the case.
I have a real problem with a court forcing you to sell something simply because they don't like you or what you think. "Extraordinary circumstances" for this? A ridiculous stretch.
Am i selfish for wishing he had held on to the team so they could have fallen apart and the Blazers could have passed them?
The court didn't force the sale. It upheld Shelley's right to voluntarily sell despite Donald's protestations.
