Long (and great) read about Birdman and how he was set up on those child pornography charges, and how it nearly destroyed him.

@WOJyahooNBA: blecker tells yahoo that sterling is "looking......separately" at possible legal action to stop sale of clippers to steve ballmer

@WOJyahooNBA: the purpose of the lawsuit against the NBA attorney Max Blecker says , is to seek damages for Sterlings lifetime ban & termination

Sterling knows he had to sell the team. He is just trying to get more money out of the NBA.

Who's comparing the east back then to the east now? I never said anything about comparing the two.

The point is that the West was pretty superior to the east in the 90's just like it is now. So by your logic, Jordan's rings don't mean as much because he got them by going through the east.

Wow lol. Wowwww

Don't put the 90s east in the same sentence as this putrid conference.

Lsbron stacked the deck in a crap confrence. If you really feel its all good (and many people do) then stop trying to justify it. You shouldn't need to justify it. The heat have a huge hand in making the east as weak as it is. So what? You shouldn't need to defend that if it isn't an issue

But don't go dragging other players in the mud

I remember when everyone said moves rings with shaq don't count. He had to win without him. So lebron is being given the same treatment. Deal with it

The Clippers were nowhere near $2 billion at the start of the year according to Forbes. Up until now the Bucks were the most expensive NBA team purchased at $550 million.

Those owners sure are losing money alright

Won't Lebby be chasing rings again if he joins the young Cavs?

What ever happened to sticking to a team and have them build a powerhouse around you. I can understand leaving a team b/c management sucks, bad team chemistry, crappy coaching. But I can't respect someone leaving a team he won 4 championships with, just to join a young promising team with the first sign of trouble (aging roster). Lebs can't put faith in Rileys and the Heat management to build another team around him?

Kobes and Timmy sat around and waited can't Lebby do the same.

Neither Kobe nor Duncan "sat around and waited"

The NBA and the Sterling family trust have settled their dispute, league announces. The team will be sold to Steve Ballmer.

Ken Berger @KBergCBS · 4m
As such, the NBA will withdraw its pending charge to terminate the team's ownership. Sterling and the trust agree not to sue the NBA.

 

[antidope]

So what will the Clippers be rebranded to? The names just associated with him and has to go IMO

 

[akajae]

good for the Clippers and their fans.

The NBA and the Sterling family reached an agreement Friday that cleared the way for the Los Angeles Clippers to be sold to Steve Ballmer, the league announced.

The league will drop its pending charge to terminate the team's ownership and the Sterlings have agreed not to sue the NBA. The vote scheduled for Tuesday in New York, which could have terminated the team's ownership by a three-fourths vote and turned the asset over to the league for sale, has been canceled, the NBA said.

In addition, "Mrs. Sterling and the Trust also agreed not to sue the NBA and to indemnify the NBA against lawsuits from others, including from Donald Sterling," the NBA said.

Shelly Sterling's agreement to sell the team to Ballmer, the former Microsoft CEO, for $2 billion, is now subject to approval by the NBA's Board of Governors. The transaction requires a three-fourths vote to pass.

The legal settlement between the NBA, Shelly Sterling and the family's trust marks a presumed end to one of the ugliest periods in NBA history. Donald Sterling, owner of the Clippers since 1983, was banned for life by commissioner Adam Silver on April 29 after an audio recording of his racially derogatory statements became public.

We'll that settles that.

To be honest I'm kinda disappointed that we didn't get to see the owners votes. Would've been crazy to see how many of them truly felt and how theyre respective fanbases would've reacted to that.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

And, of course:

The NBA league office announced that it had settled the dispute with the Sterling family. Donald Sterling's lawyer disputes that $1 billion lawsuit is settled: "Not dropping. Just filed it."

@ at comparing the east of the 90s to the east of today.
