To be fair, by all accounts Burkle was a pretty minor financial component of all this. He was just the ringleader (bringing in all the whales) and headed the arena process.
At least he got that term sheet together in time before this judgement came down
I'm sure the NBA would rather not uproot an NBA franchise, but in this case they were just following their own bylaws.
Which is why I mentioned Jay-Z.
As for Burkle, I'll buy him not being a huge part of the purchase of the team. However, I don't think it's a small deal that he can't be part of the arena development.
