Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander, on the other hand, made it clear in an interview with the Houston Chronicle that he wanted Sterling to be forced out of the league.
Like Cuban, Alexander interpreted the NBA constitution to not allow the commissioner to have the power to remove an owner except for gambling. However, Alexander said he suggested to Silver that all the Clippers players could be given the option to become free agents after this season, a step toward driving Sterling out of the league.
"This kind of behavior can't be allowed in the NBA by owners, players or anybody," Alexander told the paper. "This guy has no place in the family of the NBA. Whatever it takes, we have to make sure this kind of event never happens again."
Jeanie Buss, whose family owns the Clippers' building-mate Los Angeles Lakers, also released a statement on Monday.
"The comments and sentiments expressed on the tape are reprehensible and disturbing, and certainly are the opposite of how the Lakers feel about the league's players and fans. I have full confidence that Adam Silver and the NBA will handle this situation appropriately."
Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert issued perhaps the most strongly worded statement on Monday.
"It is shocking that anyone could hold the kind of offensive and feeble-minded views that are being attributed allegedly to the Clippers owner, Donald Sterling,'' Gilbert said in the statement. "The diverse staff members of the Cleveland Cavaliers franchise are united in encouraging commissioner Silver and the NBA to respond with swift and appropriate action consistent with a strong zero tolerance approach to this type of reprehensible behavior."
Cuban said he would support any decision the commissioner made in regards to disciplining Sterling, but Cuban believes the league constitution will limit that to a fine and suspension. Other owners called for harsh punishment.
"We trust (NBA) commissioner Adam Silver to handle this matter swiftly and properly, but let me state without reservation: There is no place for prejudice or intolerance in our league, or anywhere else," Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores said in a statement. "That's not a debatable point. It's a first principle."
A statement from Portland Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen read, "The kind of statements attributed to Clippers owner Donald Sterling, if true, are abhorrent, and not acceptable for the owner of an NBA franchise or anyone in professional sports. We at the Trail Blazers reject any and all such sentiments, and believe NBA leadership should take swift and impactful action in this case."
So now they FINALLY want to join the party... Could all be a fukking ploy, honestly.
Don't trust none of this shyt no more. Where were they on Saturday? Sunday? They probably just trynna protect those sponsors
And mark Cuban don't want him gone forever.

Baylor said in the declaration. "During this same period, players Sam Cassell, Elton Brand and Corey Maggette complained to me that DONALD STERLING would bring women into the locker room after games, while the players were showering, and make comments such as, 'Look at those beautiful black bodies.' I brought this to Sterling's attention, but he continued to bring women into the locker room."
