He will have $2 billion dollars. Sterling didn't become a billionaire by letting sentiment get in the way. He would have sold the team without this flap for a $2 billion.
$2 Billion doesn't mean as much as you think when you're 80-something, have been a billionaire for much of your adult life, don't like your family, and have a penis that doesn't function. Let's be candid. This guy was jealous of a 50-something-year-old HIV patient.
He isn't laughing.

And if was so content with selling, why wasn't he taking steps to do it before this all blew up?

2 billion, that's hundreds of millions of dollars and that's tons more money than every TD poster and their families combined net worth and total wealth they will see in their lifetime.
Damn.
Damn.

Well explain that to your ptard friends. No one really thinks Sterling came out on top in all of this, but they need to believe in the vindication of their butthurt worldview.
I don't dislike the man, btw, and don't understand why he was fined. But there's no place for men of his mindset in an organization like the NBA.

Where are the people who said that the NBA forcing him to sell would make his offers all fall below fair market value?

I know you politically correct liberals wanted that old man to spend his last days in misery.
Sorry it didn't work out for you.
Nothing makes a billionaire happier than more money. That is one reason they had the drive and ambition to become billionaires.
Donald Sterling is sipping a drink with a big smile on his face.

Well here's one for you, boy. And it's quite simple. Would you trade your place in this world for Sterling's? Would you give up the 60 years between you and him for 9-figures? I know I wouldn't.

WTF? It isn't like Sterling was going to get that 60 years back if he didn't sell the team at an astronomical profit.

A billionaire with no family who has an ounce of respect for him. You really can't take it with you. That's not just a saying.

frick no.
You only get one shot on this world and that's it. It's either a dirt nap or an awesome afterlife, mountains of money isn't worth finding out the answer to that.

Soooooo you don't have an answer to my question?
I'd also argue you fundamentally misunderstand the psyche of the uber-wealthy...

Money is power. Money is a drug to the uber-wealthy.

That actually doesn't have anything to do with anything. Money is a tool. His money has bought him all that money can buy when you consider the physical limitations of an octogenarian. Without respectable issue, there's really nothing left for him. He's finished. If you're not some kind of prostitute or beggar, you understand this.

Be funny if he moved them to Seattle. This is like LINK

He is not finished.
He is laughing at the fricking idiots who called him a racist. He has two billion reasons to laugh.

No, it obviously isn't. Sterling is incredibly wealthy and is being forced to sell his team before it gets taken away from him.
That is the antithesis of true power.
ETA: He had money and he had power (within the NBA universe). Now he simply has money, and it is because of the power of the NBA in forcing his hand.

Selling it for twice it's actual value.
That is hook'em, reel'em in.
Have a drink and laugh at these two fricksticks.
