indef suspension and $5mm fine.

Honestly why not make it $50mm?

I get they went this route because they were unable to execute the nuclear vote him out option. $5mm strikes me a weak

Banned for life and $2.5 million fine. Silver urging a forced sale of the team by other owners… would require 3/4th of the other owners.

He doesn't invest in the Clippers for years and now would get forced to make a profit. Boo hoo.

Yeah, now the ball is in the owners' court.

they couldnt hurt Sterling in the wallet. So they took away the part he loved most... schmoozing like a star at the games in his LA digs. I think this is fitting. It literally forces a sale. Doc will walk away. Players will boycott. Draft choices will refuse to play. Thats my prediction and hope. Sterling may prefer to see the thing run into the ground in some pissy attempt to fight the NBA but hard to see that bearing fruit

Is it legal to force anybody to sell their property or asset?

Its in the NBA bylaws that 3/4 of ownership votes can force him out.

Looks like Silver threw the book at Sterling with the power he has been given to deal with ths matter. If he follows through with his promise to do his level best to remove Sterling then he did pretty much everything he could. The onus is on the owners now and I get the feeling they will give him the boot. I doubt any owner wants the publicity that would follow a vote to keep him in the league.

He might be a richer man after the sale but I get the feeling that with Sterling owning the team was more about publicity, good or bad. Selling the team will devastate him if it happens. Couldnt of happened to a nicer guy.

What does that mean? Who decides if a person has commited an error as per the bylaws? Who decides what is punishment? Does it have the backing of the government? My apologies. I am a lowly software engineer and I am not in the know.

Tyson?
Knicksfan: Hypocrite league that fines players after the game for flopping but in the game and with obvious flopping they call the fouls.
