I guess we will see AK. I am not as confident as you are that its a slam dunk. Remember that he isn't gonna get 100% of the owners voting him out (at least I doubt it) and he never said anything publicly which he is accused of. This can be a dangerous precedent for future owners. A slippery slope where anyone can simply accuse someone of saying something and you lose your team? This was a private conversation. We will see.

I just have to disagree man. Lot of this talk about him suing the NBA and fighting in courts about him selling came before the NBA released the Constitution. Since then, most sports legal experts agree that the Constitution is a beast in the favor of the NBA. I mean they lay out everything. And he signed the document. He signed a document that gave the owners the power over him. The Constitution even says that the owners don't need proof of evidence. As in they can just take anything said about him or any claim he did and if they believe it they can just vote him out. So that leaves out any private vs public conversations or whether the tape was legally attained or not.

Not only that, he agreed that the decision the owners make is final, binding, and he waives his right to sue over the decision. I mean, he has to prove that the contract he signed was illegal to begin with. Not going to happen. The courts are not going to force a member in an Association where the other 29 members (which I believe they will get) do not want him in.

I can see his lawsuit against Silver, but not against the owners.

The owners haven't voted.

Which isn't at all relevant to the fact that you said it "wasn't complicated" and was "straight forward" before you said it was "complicated"

Of course this is only example 44,872 of you not being able to respond to the point.

Remember, this is so complex, except when it is "very easy" and "straight forward" and "not complicated at all"

It's complex information, but very easy and straight forward to people who understand. Not surprised you didn't get that.

It's complicated to understand the Constitution and why it is straight forward and easy. For smart people it's straight forward... for people who struggle with terms like liquidate or bonds vs bills... it's very complicated.

Which is why you apparently figured out the NBA constitution in like a day.

Mind you, you've never gone to law school, written a legal brief, read a legal brief, on top of the fact that you have no real world experience that is remotely relevant - you have not gone to law school, you've never run a business, bought a business, sold a business, hired an employee, fired an employee.

By the way, the topic at hand is not whether or not the NBA constitution is written in crayon or 'complex' the topic is your comically dumb assertion that Sterling's legal team will tell him he will lose and to sell the team. They have already done the exact opposite of that.

Actually, nothing about the information is 'complex' at all.

The fact that you would type this is a referendum on your (low) IQ

Dude, your lemonade stands are not real businesses. And this is not just my opinion. I have quoted numerous legal experts that agree that this is a clear cut case for the NBA and Sterling really doesn't have any grounds to sue them on.

And this is about the forced sale, not about Commissioner Silver's ability to enforce the punishments he gave him.

The fact that you think this is some "complex" information is hysterical.

Uh, nobody said you didn't quote anybody.

Nobody is talking about 'grounds to sue'

Your comically dumb assertion has already been proven to be incorrect.

And we are just getting started...

Notice this isn't at all responsive to what I said.

Keep flailing, dipshit.

Uh, you have been refuted by 2 people who teach law.

This has been pointed out to you 10 times now.

Alright so the rules...

1) $2,000 given to BAS (if he agrees) by 8/15/2014
2) An average of 5 picks per week. A minimum of 50 picks throughout the season (because of weeks where they have like 1 game or something)
3) Using the LVH spreads
4) Alternating picks
5) Only regular season games

Additional rules
6) Last 3 weeks of the season the person in the lead cannot pick more than 2 of the same teams that the loser picks if the loser picks first. They can pick opposite teams though
7) BAS, I trust him completely, but he has to agree that my name and information remain completely confidential to everyone including you.

* This is just a discussion, I am not fully committing to a bet. But will discuss further.

Yes, we can iron out the details shortly.

again, I have no problem with what you say except I am not sure enough Owners will vote against him. Simply for the fact that this was a private conversation and like Cuban said, "In no uncertain terms am I supporting what Donald Sterling said, or his position," Cuban said. "He's obviously racist, he's obviously bigoted. And in this day and age when you're in the public eye, you've got to be damn careful -- if that's your position, and that's unfortunately where you're at, you better be damn careful what you say, even in the privacy of your own home.

It's not complex to me, but after I saw your financial and math knowledge, this is way above your ability to understand.

I have two arguments. 1 is dependent on my first argument. I think the owners will vote 29-0. If they don't vote Sterling out, than all hell breaks loose and I have no clue what will happen.
