I have a solution to the litigiousness of Donald Sterling, what do you think?

[Nzinga]

Since the bugger will not go without a fight, and will not suffer his punishment, I have
a suggestion that can solve the problem now, rather than after Sterling is dead, as is
clearly his intention by consigning this issue to the courts of law.

What if the NBA created a completely new team in LA, to play out of the Inglewood
forum if need be, allowed all the current Clippers coaches and players out of their
contracts, and deregistered the Clippers from the NBA?

David Sterling seems to be banking on the conviction that no one can force him to
sell his team; but by the same token, no team can be compelled to play with his team,
and that, in the final analysis, is the power the collective has over any single team in
the NBA....

Yeah we saw this in the other thread. Sounds good to me. I wonder what the people who have some influence in the league would say. I'd love it. Sounds like something that can happen within a year instead of the way he's gonna try and drag the other shit out til his disgusting last breath.

That's actually what they're gonna do in a round about way.

They're gonna essentially vote the clippers out of the NBA this terminating ALL ownership and then the commissioner takes over. Here's a link to what I read yesterday:

http://deadspin.com/the-technicality-that-will-allow-the-nba-to-get-rid-of-1576828972

Assuming at least 22 owners vote out Sterling, the Clippers' "membership" would then be terminated. "Membership" in this context refers to the legal relationship between the Los Angeles Clippers Basketball Club (owned by the Sterling family trust) and the NBA. "Membership" assigns rights, privileges, and benefits granted to the Clippers by the NBA, including, without limitation, the right to organize and operate a professional basketball team to play in the league. This termination of membership is a crucial point for purposes of removing Shelly Sterling from Clippers' ownership.

There is an alternative scenario under 14(g), whereby after 22 owners vote out Donald Sterling, two-thirds (19) then vote to only terminate Donald Sterling's ownership interest in the Clippers. This step would be designed to not trigger termination of the membership. Don't expect this alternative scenario to happen: without terminating the Clippers' membership, Shelly Sterling would remain an owner of the Clippers.

And here's the original article as laid out by si.com:

You don't understand. White people are all powerful and all brilliant. Black people are slaves. There's no way we can get what we want out of this. Donald sterling can say what he wants to our face and nothing will ever happen because we dont mean anything as a people and no one cares what we think or feel. So stop thinking and just accept it.

If he had a problem with Tranny's you'd be leading the protest FOH

Who's crying? They're just taking his team. Not cuz of how he FEELS, but because he don't know how to show respect for others. The conversation just highlighted his actions. He's gonna be the one crying. This is a little tap to show others, you can feel what you want, but you better show respect outwardly to the group of people who support and build your shit. All good. No harm no foul. It's just business.

you just dont get it,

its not about saying it, its

HE EXPOSED something they been working

for decades on trying to get us to think didnt exist..

COVERT RACISM

the supreme court just shut down affirmative action not too long ago.

and here you have a member of the upper one percent

admiting that this is still a racist society and thats just the way it is..

In that exclusive club he belongs to, he broke major code...!

He has to pay!



The really big thing was he exposed that we are enemies to them. That has yet to be discussed and analyzed..

think about this shit

A super elite calling a whole group of citizens the enemy.. Including Magic Johnson someone he breaks bread with..

there is so much going on now behind the scenes its not even funny.

In a few years affirmative action maybe fully reinstated...

watch..!!!

If they went this way, he would sell very quickly, as the value of the Clippers
franchise would drop to zero if it were deregistered from the NBA

 

[southrue]

I hope he gets to keep the team after going to court to see what the players will do.

None of this is likely to happen. Sterling is finished anyway you look at it. Its no longer his decision. The owners voted him out. Plus on MSNBC earlier they stated the $2.5 million fine must be paid in 30 days or Sterling automatically forfeits the team. Either way you look at it he's fucked.

The NBA is a private organization fully controlled by the owners. Every owner "willingly" signed the same agreement. I doubt the courts will even look at this case, its an internal matter.

Wouldn't it be sweet if Magic Johnson bought the team.

Sterling is fighting the same losing that A-Rod fought.

 

[Mo-Better]

Sterling is fighting the same losing that A-Rod fought.

What's he got? The players can opt out of their contracts with the Clippers. What owner is going to do business with him? The sponsors have already said their out if he stays. The players have made it clear they too want him out. At this point its about his ego.

A-Rod actually has a better shot.

I don't feel bad for people that know something is wrong, but continue to go along with it. In that tape, he said "this is the way it is, I can't change it" when referring to racial issues. So there are higher people pulling the strings? I think there is the 1% that is publicized, and the .001% that quietly makes all the rules. If America has spent trillions of dollars on war, where in the hell is that money? I haven't seen a pick of a person with a giant novelty trillion dollar check...

 

[VWchrisATL]

If this happens, I predict D. Sterling will off himself....

 

[ViCiouS]

ok - I'll be the wet blanket...

1. at this point any action the NBA takes against Sterling - he will draaag it through the courts, requesting court orders for everything under sun - all he needs is one half way sympathetic judge.
2. I really doubt the owners will vote for any drastic actions - until they negotiate an agreement with Sterling first. The reason? All of the drastic options available set the table for any one of them to be screwed easier in future because of precedent and gives the commissioner more power than they would want.
3. The players are going to put pressure on the NBA??? the same players that were broke and begging faster than Dangelo's punked pit crew (Wire season 1) folding during the last lockout? I hope that I'm wrong, but I'll believe that when I see it.
