What if all Clipper players are released from contracts?

Just read where at least one NBA owner, Leslie Alexander of the Rockets, has suggested giving the Clippers players the option of abandoning their contracts in order to move on:

If this happens (very long shot for sure), who would you go after?
Forget about the cap side of it for now.

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.

Literally no way that happens.
It would kill the team.

CP and Griffin, and Reddick
CP would average 10 alleyoops a game, 15 assists most likley if he had Griffin and AD to throw lobs and kickouts to

Translation: I think Dwight and Harden could convince CP3 to come to Houston.

I do not think that would be fair to the remaining players in the NBA. Why should they be rewarded with free agency because their owner was taped saying something in private by a former mistress?

This episode goes way beyond that infraction.
That was a violation of the Collective Bargaining Agreement which all teams are supposed to follow, which is why the penalties were so harsh.
This is an owner being a fricking bonehead in his personal life.
I agree that they should be shaming Sterling in some way, but forcing an outright sale of the team or voiding all the players' contracts, when they KNEW what a scumbag this guy was before (re)signing there, is horseshite.
About the only people on that roster who didn't make a conscious choice to be there are DeAndre Jordan and Jared Dudley, as Jordan's RFA tender that he signed was matched by the Clippers while Dudley was part of the Eric Bledsoe / JJ Reddick deal.

There's no competitive advantage gained from his comments. Pushing the guy to sell the team because he makes the league look bad is one thing, but killing his $600m+ franchise because they don't like his opinions is much worse than what Sterling did.

No it doesn't.
In terms of the letter of the law, what the T-Wolves did then is WAY worse than what Sterling just did.

No it doesn't. He said some mildly racist things to a mistress in a private conversation.
He deserves to be out of the league, but this is just so fricking ridiculous at this point.

I don't think the NBA would terminate any contracts and kill a big market franchise.
However, the players not wanting to play for an owner is something that could lead to trouble in the very near future.

Dumbest thing to have come out of this yet. No wonder rockets are garbage.

quote:Agreed. This has been blown way out of proportion. It was a private conversation. If the private conversations of the players that are whining were recorded and played for the public, do you think they would be proud of what the public would hear them saying? So odd to see people like Kobe and Magic all of a sudden acting like they are angels. I guess fooling around on your wife and catching HIV and/or getting prosecuted for rape are much better for the NBA.

Never said it would.
Simply throwing something out to get everyone's mind off our poor management!
