    Wow. "Self-reported"? That's... weird. Adam Silver is The Punisher.

    Someone was most likely trying to blackmail him.

    I hope PA doesn't have any racist emails or audio files floating out there. But is it bad the first thing i thought was the Seattle Hawks?

    All the league would have to do is move Memphis to the Eastern Conference.

    Memphis would immediately be a top 3 team in the East, they would be all for that i'm sure

    That would be a little confusing. Perhaps "Land Hawks"?

    Sterling wasn't sorry and Levenson is. All he needed to do was apologize. Maybe this is an excuse to do what he wanted anyway--sell.

    So a decade of fighting with Belkin finally produces a stable owner...who then sells.

    I can't tell if Silver is less mobster than Stern, or way way more mobster.

    After the Sterling fiasco, every GM in the league is going through their email accounts with a team of computer techs. This does seem suspiciously black mail driven.

    Of course. Gotta create that drama, media!

    Though, it is Woj... so it actually for once might be legit.

    Maybe everybody thinks they'll get 2 billion for their teams now that Sterling cashed in.

    It's the new thing. If the nba doesn't like an owner they will label them a racist.

    Next they should get rid of every player, coach, and fan who has ever said something that someone else thought was racist. Let the purge begin.
