I'm guessing much of such action is legit, like going after tenants
however, I doubt they're all credible.
it's called "piling on"

You should stop posting on this topic. The fact that you don't understand how embarrassing this post is, speaks volumes.
If there is someone with a lower IQ and less informed than you posting here, I've yet to see it.
I feel like Scrooge McDuck swimming in all this gold!! Hahahahahahaha

LOS ANGELES-Donald Sterling responded formally to the NBA’s attempt to terminate his ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday, saying it was illegal to oust him based on a “lover’s quarrel” that was “illegally recorded.”
Sterling’s response, obtained by the Los Angeles Times, included a cover letter that contended he had received offers “in excess of $2.5 billion” to purchase the franchise he’s owned since 1981. The potential buyers weren’t named.
Sterling said that his inflammatory remarks about blacks were made in a private conversation with V. Stiviano and became public when the TMZ web site published them in April.
The response goes on to claim Sterling was “distraught” when he made the statements because Stiviano told him she planned to bring “four gorgeous black guys to the game” and that should be a mitigating factor.
“This was an argument between a jealous man and the woman he loved that should never have left the privacy of the living room,” the response said.
The response further claims Sterling is hindered from conducting his own investigation of the matter because he’s “locked out of his office at Staples Center.”
In the aftermath of the recording, the NBA banned Sterling for life and fined him $2.5 million. NBA owners are scheduled to meet in New York on June 3 to vote on ending the ownership of Sterling and his wife, Shelly. They co-own the team through a family trust.
The response claims next week’s hearing will “be neither fair nor impartial” because of other NBA owners’ public statements about the matter.
“If the Sterlings are forced to sell their interest in the Los Angeles Clippers, they will face vast and unavoidable financial consequences,” the response said.

It looks like it is going in the direction of him being right. I know he can be over the top annoying but this is a sports betting forum. Ultimately a site about making predictions based on analysis and he was on the right track here. I'll take an asshole that is right over listening to someone that is nice but always wrong anyday.
Unless Sterling is just doing some jedi mind trick on the NBA, then disregard what I just said.

I respectfully disagree- He stated that Sterling had no legal recourse. Every single person arguing against him was stating, that if Sterling chooses to fight he could tie it up in litigation for a while. He eventually agreed to sell even without vote. My argument, along with many others wasn't about if he would sell, but rather if he could contest the sale if he chose to.
Makes me wonder if things had gone a little different if Sterling hadn't totally fucked up that interview with Anderson Cooper. I'm still amazed that they let him even get out and talk with a reporter, much less not coach him on what to say. Like I said early in this thread, you never know what a billionaire is going to do. Something also tells me that Sterling isn't done making headlines...
I will have to disagree with this. My argument was that he didn't have a case... not that he couldn't come up with some frivolous lawsuit if he wanted. And because he didn't have a case he would sell either on his own or the NBA would take over after they voted. Most people were arguing that he would hold this up in court for years and that this is no where close to being over. I said it will be done fast and quickly. And sure enough, my real world knowledge is correct again.
Lot of people here should use this as a lesson. You being one of them.
