I actually stopped posting in the thread because the mods moved it and I agreed with them I would not talk in any Sterling threads. I actually left when the team sold. Not sure how that is running away.
I was banned from the Offshore forum for a week so I couldn't respond to these posts. But with the events that happened between then, I just couldn't help myself because of how wrong you guys always are.
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.
Hopefully that idiot will, indeed, go into hiding, as well as many of the other nitwits who kept saying this will be a long, protracted process.
scum's response to all this? "see, I told you so, I was right all along"
caution, brilliance at work
More than likely Sterling will end up agreeing to sell on his own.
Trust me on this, you should listen to me instead of make comments. I'm usually right on real world issues.
Well he can't fight about being forced to sell since the owners have not voted yet, lol.
I still think he will be advised to sell, make his money, and bounce.
I think he might sue the NBA for their actions, but he's not going to hold up the sale.
The team will probably be sold by next week. Lol.
Well considering the fact the team will be sold by next week... I'm pretty sure he is taking his best option, lol.
I haven't been wrong about anything yet. Regardless of what his lawyer is saying to the NBA, he is in the process of selling the team just as I said he would.
New owner will be their within two weeks. You guys will move on to your next story that you will be incorrect about because you don't understand how the real world works.
The team is being sold and will most likely be sold before the owners vote on June 3rd.
All of you guys are posting quotes related to Sterling against the NBA selling his team. I will admit I did not predict his wife would find him mentally insane, then sell the team, and then Sterling would be creating lawsuits based on his own family trust and not the NBA. I have no clue what's in the family trust and it has nothing to do with the NBA or their Constitution. If the judge rules in favor of Shelly selling the team, just about everything I said was correct.
And I stated numerous times that I do not care if he has civil lawsuits against the NBA after the team has sold. It was about lawsuits preventing the NBA from selling the team.
I already showed SECplayer what a douche he is by showing how idiotic his own words were. I'll do the rest of you soon because some of you said some good ones!

Completely false. From day 1, you were adamant that there was only one way this was going to end and there would be no litigation whatsoever in part because his attorneys would advise him against filing a suit. Well, we're on lawsuit #3 if you're keeping count. So right away, you were wrong on both of these counts.
Nobody else tried to predict with certainty exactly how this would play out. Only you did that. We merely replied that it was foolish of you to act like you 100% knew exactly how each and every event would transpire. You've been proven comically wrong and are now backpedalling as fast as you can.
And you certainly haven't proven me to be a "douche" (who still talks like that?). You merely quoted my responses to you which disagreed with the premise of the NBA truly forcing a sale without his permission AND him having no legal recourse. That was my stand and it still is. Unlike you, I haven't attempted to change my stance with every new development.
Again, my only involvement in this thread was because you were 100% certain because of your "real world knowledge" that the only way this would end would be the NBA forcing Sterling to sell without his permission AND that Sterling wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Youve been wrong about everything. You just made such a big spectacle of it you can't admit it.
Youre backpedalling by saying "I was only talking about the Constitution" and not these new developments. Everyone else in this thread had the foresight to understand this was complex and any number of things were bound to occur. Again, you were the only person in this thread to take the most delusional simplistic view that there could be only one possible result.
AK's motto is "Often wrong but never in doubt."
You said numerous times that they couldn't take his team. That's obviously false. So I don't know what you think you are getting at, lol.
The sale could be official by the end of next week and then when the owners agree on his ownership. Like I said, I was talking about Sterling against the NBA. I did not know anything about the family trust and whether Shelly Sterling could find him mentally retarded and sell the team herself. All these lawsuits are based on his wife and their family trust. It is a complete waste of time for the NBA, because they would have just taken his team and sold it like I said from the beginning.
If the probate judge rules that Shelly can sell the team, almost everything I said about this case is right. If the judge says she can't sell the team, then I will be back to square one and admit that I was wrong about the time frame and Sterling's actions.
But from what I've read Shelly looks like she is going to win this.

I can't imagine the legal battle that would ensue if the NBA tried to strip him of his ownership. With his money, he could stretch that case out for 15 years easy.
And again, I'm saying that would be an extremely long drawn out legal battle before there would be any final resolution. In the interim, he would still be owner.
I'm not defending him one bit. But Regardless if he's the biggest racist in LA or the biggest piece of shit in LA, I'm just pointing out how ridiculous it is to think that you could justify "taking someone's assets" because you dislike them or disagree with them.
Yep. The fact that there are people who think he could be forced to sale HIS business/HIS property just because he made racist statements is unbelievable. This is America. You don't just get your assets seized because you say something people disagree with.

Not going to happen. If you don't understand that, you're an idiot. It really is as simple as that.
For what it's worth, I actually thought the comments were racist.
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.
First of all, "next year" was not a part of your statement.
Second, if he's not the owner "next year", it will be by his choice.
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.
I'm tired of arguing in this thread. Not worth my time. If you prove AK wrong, he just ignores the post altogether. If he doesn't have anything to make his point, he backpedals or brings up something we have already explained 10 times.
For the last time, my only input in this thread was that the idea that Sterling would be forced to sell his team without his permission AND would have no legal recourse whatsoever was irrational.
AK said time and time again that was the ONLY way this would end. I disagreed and still do.
But he doesn't know how to argue or even discuss topics. It's likely because he doesn't seem to have a full grasp of the English language as evidenced by him posting for literally pages the wrong interpretation of a word as simple as "willful."
Ill let the many other posters who have also proven you wrong take it from here.
Again, it's not beneficial to me to argue with a fool. Congrats in being the clown of therx.
It's not irrational at all. The only reason he's even thinking of selling the team is because he knows he can't win against the NBA. That was my entire point is that the owners control the NBA. If they vote his ass out he has no legal recourse which means his best option is to sell the team himself and not let the NBA do it for him. This whole issue with his wife and family trust has nothing to do with the NBA. If it turns out Shelly can't sell it, the NBA owners will vote his ass out and the NBA will sell the team. You were wrong the entire time that they can't take his team. They can and they will. He might sue for the rest of his life in civil court, but that I do not care about. The team will be sold whether he is forced to agree to sell it himself or the NBA sells it for him. That's still the truth, which you were wrong about since the beginning.
And by the way I understood the term willful... just used it in the wrong context. Which I admit I did. Unlike you, who will not admit you were wrong about everything. Embarrassing man. And you were the one who started the name calling too, lol! Get owned like the little bitch you are.
Worthless fucking CLOWN
