dogwelder Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I think that's the most surprising part of this whole mess. Given all the prior evidence/lawsuits of Sterling's racism, why would ANY chapter of the NAACP give him an award? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Mann Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 The Clippers are now facing an avalanche that they might not be able to recover from. Also, their owner is a bigot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie M. Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Blake's really the only Clipper that I feel bad for. It was just the luck of the draw that saw him wind up in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamhock Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Couldn't the other NBA owners after this season just vote to contract the league by one team, and that team is the Clippers? Then they announce they're expanding the league by one team, based in Los Angeles, and award it to a new owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 I wasn't home for most of the first half. Am I too late to make the "Chandler Parsons now tops the Clippers' free agent wish list" joke? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy LaRue Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Silver will have to do something. What that is, who knows. But if they allow Sterling to skate on this, things won't be pretty for the Commissioner's Office. It could turn into anarchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooseCannon Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'm expecting Larry Flynt to come through with an offer for $1 million to Sterling's girlfriend if she is willing to star in a porn movie where she gets gangbanged by a bunch of black dudes. He has a history of getting a ton of free press by publicly offering money for people like Casey Anthony to pose nude or appear in porn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 The worst part about this Sterling mess is that it's taking away from a truly incredibly first round. We seriously have to talk about Donald Friggin' Sterling and read think pieces about race in America in 2014? I legit just wish we could ignore it so we can focus on Troy Daniels.

Kuetsar Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 If ever there was a weekend for McHale or Stotts to bitch about the officiating and dare the NBA to fine them, this would be it. I think Silver would turn them into a whipping boy for Sterling, actually. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The group just understands he the best face for the group. In the interest of nitpickery, it's 3-4%. Roughly as much ownership as he used to have with the Lakers.

Craig H Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Lakers and Clippers merge and Seattle gets a team again. Problem solved for everyone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredoE Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 ignolige Pretty sure you mean "acknowledge", but what up with that? He wanted everyone to read the entire post, to figure out what he was writing about. He's right though. Everyone always says Magic as the owner of the Dodgers, but its this far bigger group that owns them and Magic is just the figure-head, which is a genius thing to do. I do think if Sterling puts the Clippers up for sale, the group that owns the Dodgers would probably want to buy the team. At the same time, Sterling's been this way for ages. Its gonna have to take a lot of pressure to get him to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlfredoE Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I thought Stan Kasten was figurehead for Dodgers. WHO? They both are, but there's a big difference in who people recognize more between those two. Its interesting no one is mentioning how Sterling will actually win in all this if he sells the team. Whatever the price has been for past NBA teams sold, Clippers are peaking and in LA. Gonna get a lot of money if he sells now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggulator Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Didn't Sterling also buy the team for something like $250,000 when they were in San Diego? I forget the exact number but it was really for nothing.Life really isn't fair.Also, the ESPN article about things today talked about how last year when they won something (the division or a playoff round or something), Sterling led the team in a ridiculous "Hip Hip Hooray!" chant. They also talk about how he was surrounded by cronies. Can you imagine being THAT dude's flunky yes-man? That's beneath pond scum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
