The NBA is officially SCREWED starting post FINALS!

No it's not. The League has lawyers just as well. And if Sterling wants to take it there, then so be it. You can already tell how out of touch this man is. One day he is cool with the deal going forward. The next day he is not cool with the deal. This dude is a nut case.

Adam Silver is not a bastard, because his name isn't Adam Snow.

Sterling is such an idiot. I can't wait until nothing comes of this and the moron is left with a team worth nothing.

He's an idiot because he doesn't want to sell his basketball team that he's owned for 30 years? That makes him an idiot?

Sterling knew the rules of the contract when he signed them. If the other owners vote him out he's out simple as that. He can walk away with billions of dollars or he can continue this petty bullsh!t and walk away with nothing. The league will dissolve the Clippers and he'll also open up himself to a shit load of lawsuits from other owners if he doesn't have evidence to back up his claims. Oh not to mention in the agreement he signed as part of the sale if he sues the NBA his own trust has to pay their legal fees. So yeah he's an idiot.

If it was "as simple as that" he would have been voted out before now and there would be no reason for bylaws.

And if you really think he's going to sue if his own trust will pay the settlement then you're the idiot.
