It's apparent to me that the NBA has weak lawyers.
If I were Stirling I would file a anti-trust suit and ask for $2bil.
The supposed transgression was a PRIVATE conversation recorded secretly. NBA is WAY out on a limb here.

The same people who are shrieking about the NSA spying on them have no problem at all with spying on somebody they don’t like.

I wonder if this Sterling is a big DemocRat donor. Wouldn’t that be something.
To: Mariner
Uh, the NBA is an organization that exists despite anti-trust law.

Wow, you’d think he blew up the World Trade Center or something.
So, now what? He’ll be forced to sell the team, for a billion or so?
Why does a private conversation, racist though it may be, rate such a response?

How can you fine someone and kick them out for life? What's the incentive to pay the fine?

The supposed transgression was a PRIVATE conversation recorded secretly. NBA is WAY out on a limb here. And to seal the deal, the NBA made it clear today that the action was solely due to the recording, and had nothing to do with any previous rumors or transgressions
..so you may just be right.

It's apparent to me that the NBA has weak lawyers. The NBA hired arguably the best law firm in the world (Wachtell) to handle this investigation.
If I were Stirling I would file a anti-trust suit and ask for $2bil.
You would lose.

I think the old man was set up by the girl friend, working with Magic. Now Magic gets the team. What a coincidence.

Why stop at this?
Why not - under force of the Government - take away his franchise and all his other holdings and redistrubute them to the poor?

How can you fine someone and kick them out for life? What's the incentive to pay the fine? Sterling likely receives far more than $2.5 million from the NBA each year (TV revenue, etc.). They can just withhold the fine from those payments.
