Would Ballmer bring the Clippers to Seattle?

Clippers have a huge fanbase and they make a lot more money in LA then they would in Seattle.

Clippers have a huge fan base? There are more Bulls fans than Clippers fans in L.A.

Numerous reasons why this is amongst the dumbest things ever recommended.

1] The Clippers have always been in the green, even while being mediocre. Seattle was not able to maintain a NBA team. What kind of move would that be?

2] The Clippers lease with the Staples Center/AEG/Los Angeles Arena lasts for another nine years, from what I recall.

3] It is being speculated that Ballmer has had discussions with AEG about purchasing the rights to the Staples Center, the Nokia Theater/LA Live along with the Los Angeles Kings.

4] Purchase agreement includes a clause in which Ballmer will not make an attempt of moving the team out of Los Angeles, whether it be Seattle, St. Louis, Sydney, Melbourne, Moscow or Van Nuys.
