True, however agreeing to a sale, is not the same as executing a sale. His lawyers may be signalling to the other NBA owners that it is ok to vote to force the sale. In essence, I will drop my suit and agree to the sale so that you have “cover” and can vote to force the sale. That way the owners look good to the sheeple and the NBA looks like it actually had power to do something.
It in effect, creates a Win/Win situation.
There was no vote, when they negotiated a sale the NBA canceled the vote.
