How Are They Going To Force Sterling To Sell??

[akphidelt]

And had the judge ruled the sale was not legit, what happens? Sterling owns the team still.

This means the judge forced the sale by the decision made in a court of law.

No, the judge approved of the sale. The sale was done because the NBA told the Sterlings that they had until a certain date (forgot the date at the top of my head, I think June 2nd?) to sell the team on their own or they were going to vote, take the team over, and sell it for them.

This was an absolute forced sale by the NBA. The legal shenanigans and who officially approved of the sale means nothing. One way or the other the NBA was going to sell the team.

 

[akphidelt]

Well, 99% of us know the NBA can't force a man to sell his company and knew it would go to court and a court would have to issue a ruling and that's what happened.

The half way intelligent folks that have discussed this issue in this thread said the following:

1) We had no clue how this case would play out.
2) Sterling would not sell without a fight.
3) A court would have to force him to sell the Clippers.

All three of these things happened and there's no argument about it.

All you need to know regarding AK's knowledge on topics such as this as he said the team was "sold" before money actually changed hands. He even had a licensed real estate agent come in here and tell him nothing is final until money exchanges hands and he told us we were stupid and didn't know what we were talking about.

He always thinks he's the smartest man in the room.

The NBA can and did force the Sterlings to sell their team. If the Sterlings didn't do it themselves the NBA would have voted, took the team over, and sold it for them. The NBA Constitution lays it out clear as day and there really is not a legal expert out there that didn't understand Donald would lose. That's why they were in a panic to get the team sold before the NBA could vote.

The NBA played hardball too. They did not give in to a single request the Sterling's wanted.

You guys argue the stupidest shit and twist things that are so illogical it's amazing you actually think someone would believe it.

This was a forced sale by the NBA. And now the NBA is big balling Sterling even more by counter-suing him for wasting their time.

I don't care who people associate me with. I post what I believe is right. Always. If that puts me in an unpopular situation with the "cool crowd" on this board sometimes, I don't care.
In this thread, Aki's first post proved right. Yours proved wrong.
I don't associate you with that asshole Ace, or Wrong Way, even though they and you agreed on lots in this thread. I know you have the class and decency, and common sense they lack.
Whether the NBA forced Sterling, or a Court forced Sterling is technical BS. Unfortunately this thread got derailed by technical BS, as did the whole situation, but The NBA wanted him gone, he gone. Aki said he'd be gone before the season in his 1st thread on the topic, you said this will take years to play out. One of those was right, one of those was wrong. If you had said the right one, and Aki had said the wrong one, I'd be posting the same exact thing because you would have been right, he would have been wrong. I'm not sticking up for him, I'm sticking up for the result that ultimately was right.

As I stated, EVERYONE was right and EVERYONE was wrong in this thread at one time or another. We now have the final verdict(I hope, LOL), and we can pay off the winning ticket. Aki had the winning ticket. It doesn't really matter how he got there. To deny it at his point is like Wrong Way still insisting he was right about the 2012 election, he just didn't foresee the "inner city" coming out to vote like they did, but it doesn't change the result of who won and who lost. Romney ain't in the Whitehouse and Sterling ain't at Staples Center. Game over.

My point is this Guesser. You back this guy 9 out of 10 times but when he says something so ridiculous nobody will agree with him, you say something like "that's a technicality" or "maybe that's not what he meant" or something like that (I'm not saying you've said those things word-for-word). Sometimes, he says some of the dumbest shit on the forum period. How come I don't read you call him on it and call him an idiot?

It's just not worth arguing anymore. Read all the news articles. Read the ones I've provided that say clearly the court made a decision that force him to sell the team. Read the tweets from real life lawyers. It's all there.

Whatever you want to believe is fine with me. You can live in your own fantasy world.

Lol, the team was already sold. All the court did was deny Donald's lawsuit and approve of the sale. The reason the team was sold because the NBA put the whoop ass down on the Sterling's and forced them to.

I disagree with him plenty. I have called him when I think he goes over the line. I'm Disagreeing with him currently in the Poli Forum. I don't call him an idiot because I don't call people names until/unless they start that crap with me. I prefer the civil type debate that you and I are having now. Those that I do insult have started it with me, and then I don't hold back, and give it back alot harder. I've never had a reason to call Aki an idiot.

Guesser, the guy said some women deserve to be hit. If that's not a reason, don't know what is.

You rip Willie plenty on here. Although I don't always agree with Willie, he is much less of a polarizing figure and his remarks don't come close to what AK says on a daily basis here. I just think it's very hypocritical of you.

 

[Dafinch]

And THAT's The Bottom Line, Good call Aki back on page 1 of this ridiculous thread. Winding Road to get there.

I said the exact same thing, as Casey Stengel used to say, you can look it up...

 

[Dafinch]

LOL, NBA had nothing to do with this. It took a court decision to force Sterling to sell. That's what happened.

You said it would take "years" to play out, you fucking moron, YOU WERE WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I already said I disagree with him about that, but again, other than disagreeing with him, there's no reason for me to call him an idiot because I disagree with him.
I could not disagree more about Willie. He's an arrogant know it all asshole, who has unprovoked insulted me, insults others all the time, and is just a condescending pussy bitch. I will continue to rip him, and there's nothing hypocritical about it. His remarks are Far worse than Aki's. You may disagree, and that's fine.
I don't care if he's polarizing, whatever that means on an internet forum. I treat others the way they treat me. Aki has never given me a reason to go off on him. We disagree plenty, we're civil about it, and we move on. Your interactions with him are different, and you and he can trade insults back and forth, but it's not going to effect how I interact with you, or with him.

In my opinion, Willie has strong conservative viewpoints so it aggravates you and choose to insult him (I'm not saying he's not at fault either). You disagree with AK at times but share the same political beliefs so you keep from insulting him.

It's just one guy's point of view. I know you'll disagree and that's fine. That's what a forum is all about.

I interact peacefully and civilly with those that have strong conservative views plenty. Did it with you when you used to be down there regularly, right? As long as they're civil, I'm civil. They're not, I'm not. Willie was not. Continuously.
I think you let Aki and his posting style get to you far more than it should have. He's not worth the aggravation of starting a thread with his quotes.

His posting style? You mean, if a poster doesn't agree with him, call them an idiot, retard, moron and stupid? That posting style? We don't agree much on here but you don't say that shit. In real life I assume he's just an asshole but of course it's just an assumption.

You are one angry ass dude.

Yeah, that posting style. It's not my style, but as long as he's chill with me, I'm chill with him. This ain't real life. cheersgif.

You're fighting an uphill battle here. When a guy has the mentality that he is cool with ISIS slaughtering their way through Iraq so long as they leave the US alone in the future, you probably shouldn't expect him to be bothered by any comment or post that doesn't directly effect him.

Of course no one said that, and no one is "cool with ISIS", but you have become very good at misrepresenting what people say, to fit your view. cheersgif

You're also talking to a guy that says "for every one good black guy there are ten that will cut you or steal your wallet" is not a racist statement.

Someone here actually said that??? That's pretty ridiculous.

Haven't misrepresented a thing. Nonetheless you have your opinion and I have mine on ISIS/Iraq. Agree to disagree.
