Niccas in here throwing a party like Lincoln signed them papers. This is bigger than Sterling. The NBA is in full CYA mode and got some of y'all losing focus. Lebron on Twitter praising Adam Silver. F*ck outta here.
Well...remember, these guys have money but they're not that bright.

Maturity through age only accounts but for so much.

Then again, this guy IS his boss so...

Q: Is it possible for Silver and the NBA to terminate Sterling’s franchise ownership?

A: Yes. Under the terms of Paragraph 13 of the constitution, the owners can terminate another owner’s franchise with a vote of three-fourths of the NBA Board of Governors, which is composed of all 30 owners.

The power to terminate is limited to things like gambling and fraud in the application for ownership, but it also includes a provision for termination when an owner “fails to fulfill” a “contractual obligation” in “such a way as to affect the [NBA] or its members adversely.” Silver and the owners could assert that Sterling’s statements violated the constitution’s requirements to conduct business on a “reasonable” and “ethical” level.

Any owner or Silver can initiate the termination procedure with a written charge describing the violation. Sterling would have five days to respond to the charge with a written answer. The commissioner would then schedule a special meeting of the NBA Board of Governors within 10 days. Both sides would have a chance to present their evidence, and then the board would vote. If three-fourths of the board members vote to terminate, then Sterling would face termination of his ownership. It would require a vote of two-thirds of the board to reduce the termination to a fine. Terminating a franchise would obviously be a drastic remedy, but the potential of the termination procedure gives Silver and the other owners vast leverage in any discussion with Sterling about an involuntary sale of his team.

I hope they're ultimately successful, but from a legal standpoint this seems like an awfully difficult case to prove. It reads like they would have to provide evidence of unethical business practices and I don't know if alienating all of your players, your head coach and 90% of the leagues players would qualify.

I want him out of the league, but part of me wants to see the pure fukkery that would ensue if he manages to stick around but players are allowed to opt out of their contracts and other players simply refused to sign there. I can't even imagine the kind of roster they'd end up with :lolbron:

I didn't have any feelings concerning him besides what I saw on the court. I never did 'not' respect him as a man
Alright, I wasnt getting at you. I just felt that you were implying that

I got you - my bad

Adam Silver's masterful(:troll:) delivery of Sterling's punishment was a revelation. :lupe: i've just realized how much i shouldn't have given a fukk about Sterling or the reactions to it anymore. Everybody is full of shyt :pachaha: fukking Jesse Jackson was on ESPNLA giving his opinion like I should give a fukk. you hear comments on there like "this is good for mankind" :russ: I'm like ":wtf: so a 81 year old billionaire owner getting banned for saying some racist is great for mankind?, what about all the other owners who were :whoa: for a minute there being a afraid that their skeletons might be exposed too" Best believe Sterling is not the only owner who feel some kind of way about black people or other ehtnic group they deem lower than them. shyt Gilbert's outrage at Lebron leaving cleveland and subsequent CBA to prevent shyt like that from happening again should have been a warning but most of yall probably forgot about it by now.

shyt I was :salute: Mickey fukking Arrison the other day for being one of the first owners to speak out only to find out later that he too aint shyt.

so cool off the (faux) outrage and calls for public lynching brehs.
