IMO the Clippers never belonged in L.A.  That was just another weird Sterling move, taking them from San Diego.
 
 
Why should they put a team in London? stupid IMO
seriously, so dumb

Clippers won't be issuing a statement from Donald Sterling. "He's not a part of the team anymore."

Mike_Bresnaha: Clipp says they "wholeheartedly support and embrace" NBA's decision. Me

Clippers aren't saying it publicly but a couple told me they're hoping everyone wears black to tonight's game.
 
I have a serious question. (Not trying to be a **** towards LA or the Clippers franchise)

Should LA really have 2 teams? Wouldn't it be better for the league to have a team in Seattle or Vancouver or something?

I understand LA is a huge city, but having 2 of 30 NBA franchises in the same building just doesn't seem right

Not sure if serious...


It's his business, he paid for the team, he gets the money. It's just that they would take care of selling it since he could list at a ridiculous price or drag out the sale for months or years which he most likely he would do.


The nba is basically gonna get what it's valued at

Depending on legal terms, it may not be the case. But I think this makes a lot more sense and a huge legal battle would proceed if he didn't get the funds.

Not sure if paypal does it like this, but the analogy would be like if you have a paypal, and they want to close your account for what ever reason, they could keep the paypal balance/money on your account?

This isn't Paypal, when you sign up for Paypal you agree to that happening.

Where have you ever seen or heard of an owner of a business or company being forced to sell it but didn't get the money that HE paid for? Never because it's stupid and it would result in a lawsuit if it were ever gonna happen but he's getting every dime he just doesn't get what HE wants to ask for so it will sell less now than what it would have originally sold at if this didn't happen and he had control
 
^^^ Jim Gray? Didn't even know he was still around. Haven't heard from him for years.

Of course Sterling is going to say some $%^& like that, but he has very little leverage or power here. His franchise basically has no value without the NBA and the NBA wants him out. All he can really do is spend a bunch of money tying everything up in court, but I suspect he'd eventually lose. He should cut his losses, take his billion from the sale and go away quietly.

Because of money
Both teams sell out most of their games

I know it isn't paypal, but do you know the exact terms of the contract he signed with the NBA? Cause I don't which is why I posed the question. When you sign up for paypal, you agree to that happening, how do you know this same agreement isn't in the NBA contract? And yes, like I said it would definitely result in a lawsuit. There has never been a case (that I can remember) that the NBA voted on to remove and owner and sell the team, so I mean that's beside the point.

I don't think a city should ever have two teams.

Why not? If the city is big enough to support two teams, I see no issue with there being two. Guarantee you that two viable teams in LA is more valuable to the league than if one of those teams was in Seattle or Vancouver. Better for the players two. Chris Paul and Blake Griffin wouldn't have nearly the number of endorsement deals they do if they were playing in Vancouver.

There is no legitimate reason why Seattle should get the LA Clippers at this point in time.

Especially now with the way things are looking for the Clippers. They aren't going anywhere and they shouldn't.
