Well he can't fight about being forced to sell since the owners have not voted yet, lol.

Um, 'lol' you don't just send the letter in advance of the vote and if they vote to take away the team say "yeah, no way we are suing now"

Your responses are laughable and pathetic.

He may or may not sue in an attempt to block the sale. This could all be posturing on Sterling's part. Impossible for any of us to know. In that sense, I'm not sure why these guys are declaring victory over you. I do think you are absolutely wrong about his lawyers advising him to sell rather than fight. No chance they pass up 7 figures in legal fees. Another reason it's hard to see that happening, Sterling is a lawyer himself, I don't see the advice of another lawyer swaying him either way.

All I'm saying is his actions to fight the forced sale of the team could negatively impact the value of his team. And that is something the lawyers will tell him. Unless they honestly think they can win a court battle (which I don't think they have a chance), why would he even attempt it? And if he wins the court battle? That would completely destroy the value of his team as the league (in my opinion) would refuse to play for him.

And the NBA Constitution is meant to make this quick. The second they press the charges on Sterling, it's a 20 day process until it's finalized.

I still think he will be advised to sell, make his money, and bounce. I just don't see what he can sue on other than the Constitution he signed being illegal or antitrust claims, which he doesn't have.

This $2.5 million deal is from the Commissioner. Whether that $2.5 million is legit or not I have no clue. Been talking about the forced sale the entire time. The fact they act like they won this argument because he refuses to pay the $2.5 million fine Silver levied on him is hilarious.

Except nobody is doing any such thing.

See stupid, the whole "Donald Sterling will not go down without a fight and that he is taking active steps toward litigation" was quoted 5 times for you.

So you can stop now.

There's a simple reason he fights it, even if it isn't in his financial best interest. Ego. He is 80 years old, with more money than he and his children could spend in a life time. He's been devaluing his franchise for decades.

The owners haven't voted yet.

I mean I know you can't trust his word, but in his interview he did say "why would I fight this" and gave the reason he is 80 and the owners are his partners or what not.

Not saying that means he won't, but he has discussed it.

It's still funny how these guys think they won an argument.

So now you've been reduced to pretending that Sterling hired one of the best anti-trust lawyers in America because, well, because.

Probably to discuss what his options are. Silver gave him that $2.5 million fine. Maybe he is going to fight that Silver doesn't have that much power to fine him. I have no clue. The argument was never about this $2.5 million fine.

The argument is about what he will do if the owners vote him out according to their Constitution.

Once again, really not that hard to grasp.

Hysterical.

And this "discussion" included a letter to the NBA threatening to sue.

Mind you, you said Sterling won't sue.

It is probably just for fun.

When I'm wrong, I'll admit it.

No you won't.

You just spent 25 posts obfuscating.

"Discuss options"

Note: Michael McCann is a Massachusetts attorney and the founding director of the Sports and Entertainment Law Institute at the University of New Hampshire School of Law. Disagrees with your dipshit assessment.

No doubt, Sterling has been all over the map. I, personally, think it's impossible to know what he does. His interview was beyond strange. I am still not sure if that "why would I fight this"/apology to the owners was sincere or his attempt to kiss the owners asses, in hopes that they would let him stick around. His lack of an apology leads me to believe he just doesn't give a damn at all. That attitude leads me to believe he would at least attempt to drag this out in the courts (most likely unsuccessfully).

You're confusing two separate arguments. I'm not surprised.

Uh, nobody said the argument was about any fine. You keep saying that. Gee, I wonder why?

Note, Donald Sterling will not go down without a fight and that he is taking active steps toward litigation.

According to Michael McCann
