Funny thing is SECplayer was the one who was hostile and calling people names. But apparently he forgot about when we first started conversing this issue. Let's see how wrong he was, lmao!! Comedy gold!!

What am I wrong about here? "I can't imagine the legal battle that would ensue." That was my whole argument. I said this was complex and who knows what would happen. You were the ONLY one in this whole argument that said there could only be one possible outcome no matter what. You were wrong.

This statement was in response to you stating the NBA would force him to sale. If they truly "forced" the sale as sold it on his behalf without his permission, it would be a very long legal battle. And the last statement, "in the interim, he would still be owner" is still correct. Again, you are wrong.

I stand by that statement as well. Again, what are you quoting me for if you cannot point out where I am wrong? You're the one that said this would be an open and shut case and there was only one possible outcome and there would be no possible legal recourse from Sterling whatsoever. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Again, I stand by this. It's one thing for Sterling to come to the realization that it is in his best economic interest to voluntarily sell the team. But the argument was that the NBA would "force" him to sell and sell it for him and he would have no recourse. Wrong on your part again.

They might have something in their Constitution where the NBA can purchase the team at market price. There are multiple avenues to force him out. None of those avenues include taking the team without compensating him.

Again, you're quoting me but not pointing out where I'm wrong. Until the NBA truly forces him to sell against his volition and they win the subsequent lawsuit that Sterling would inevitably file IF he was truly forced to sell, you're not right. Simple.

I'm just blown away at the stupidity of a couple posters who think that he will lose his team because he said something offensive. It's beyond comprehension.

Again, my only argument in this thread is that the nba wouldn't be allowed to unilaterally take HIS business from him and force him out as owner. This is America. You are allowed to express your opinions no matter how stupid or racist they are. He is now facing the backlash of his comments (deservedly so). But it doesn't give the nba the right to take his property as you stated (whether compensated or not). And as an argument in the alternative, I stated even if the nba attempted to do so (which they won't), he'll still have the right to defend his right to own HiS business in courts. It would be a very long case (as long as he wanted it to be). And he would win.
You seem to think that a fine and a ban from games/practices, etc. somehow proved you right which is hysterical.
Sterling is is still the owner of his team yet you decided to post "where's that SECplayer dude." Again, Sterling is still the owner of the team because the nba did not "force him out." The one thing I argued, the ONE thing, still remains true yet you think you're correct. And you wonder why you have the reputation as the biggest idiot in the forum.
Youre a pretty simple minded person. If we were having this argument in person, I would have to talk very slowly to spell it out to you.
Again, next time you quote me, you might want to point out where I was actually wrong.
Only one person has been shown to be spectacularly wrong in this thread and it's akphidelt.
AK posted as many times as he could that the NBA would force the sell and there was nothing Sterling could do about it and this was the only possible outcome. Everyone else including myself argued that it was more complex than that and because it was so complex, it was foolish for you to act like you already knew exactly how this was going to transpire. You've been proven wrong. But thanks for quoting me (albeit from a different Sterling thread altogether).
Poor AK. Always wrong. Always.
