Being a bigot, racist makes you a billionaire 2x over. Didn't know there was money in it. No wonder they call America the land of opportunity.

What if he's planning on moving the Clips to Seattle? Just saying! That would completely excise the ghost of Sterling and move them out from under the Lakers shadow forever.

Looks like Seattle fans are SOL. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/11005695/seattle-bid-nba-team-dealt-blow-steve-ballmer-agrees-purchase-los-angeles-clippers

Can't help but feel the bad guy won (to the tune of $2 billion dollars).

Still, this sale is a mess- first Sterling gives his wife permission to negotiate a sale, then denies it, then she has him ruled mentally incapable (ha, we all knew that), now she announces the sale, while the NBA is denying her right to sell it, pushing for Sterling to be forced to sell it, who said he will sue anyone who tries to sell the team.! A legal mess. Getting anyone ruled 'mentally incapable' is a minefield because it's absolutely subjective, and even if the stories claiming she suddenly became concerned he has dementia (coincidentally just when it became fortuitous for him to be diagnosed with this) are true, there's no way you are 'mentally incapable' this quickly into the signs of dementia being spotted- it's a long, long, process with fluctuations in capacity. Don't believe it for one minute!

Yeah, I just read that. Too bad. Seattle fans really got screwed
Over. The NBA and Bennett totally conspired to take that team to OKC. The real kick in the nuhuts is the Thunder kept the sonics championship and history too. Eh, it's just a shame.
