re: What if all Clipper players are released from contracts?

You are aware that Stern took 5 1st round picks from the Timberwolves for illegal contact with a player, right?

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.
