Hopefully that weasel Silver is pleading to avoid "Balmer SMASH!"Throwdown":1sxtasrr said:this was caught at last nights game vs the Thunder...

The NBA is reportedly considering "disenfranchising" the Clippers.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/nba/ne ... z31uyriqDtThis illustrates how franchise rules work very differently in the NBA than they typically do in the business world. Normally when a franchise owner is disenfranchised, the owner keeps the underlying business. For example, if an owner of a Chevron gas station violated his franchise agreement with Chevron, he might lose his affiliation with Chevron, but he would not lose his gas station. The CEO of Chevron would not also take over this gas station. Unfortunately for the Sterlings, they own in the NBA, not Chevron. If Donald Sterling is disenfranchised, he and his wife lose the Clippers and Silver would take over the team.
The whole league should contract.Throwdown":1xu2or9f said:Means either, allowing Sterling to own the team, but the team is no longer in association with the NBA, or is contraction.
Keyword in my whole post is "if". Silver is wearing the big boy pants now, and I think those "ifs" I was posting about turn into reality. Heard many different places saying the NBA might be effed if Sterling sues the league if they try to take his team.Throwdown":7909li62 said:You sure dream big don't you, hernia?
What exactly illegal was done by the NBA yet?
They've only set sanctions thus far, a forced sale hasn't happened yet, its being recommended. Not to mention the NBA is a private entity, just like .net when you sign up you give a up a few rights to continue being a member of the community. NBA is the same way, NBA can forcefully take over a franchise if it wants and sees fit, we haven't seen it happen but I'm pretty sure in this situation its a big possibility.
Worse thing that Sterling can bring out is things that other owners might've and probably have said that were along the horrible things he has said.
Its an ugly situation, and i really hope Hansen has distanced himself from it, don't get involved and keep his head down and keep doing what he needs to do. I don't know what Ballmer is doing though, him being at Clipper games looks fishy.
