quote:
Sterling recently saw a draft of a statement from the league which he thought absolved him of the penalties, but a person familiar with the NBA's position said the statement, which was not released to the public, offered no such relief.

"In terms of saying something in a draft press release that indicated they would be dismissing the lifetime ban and the fine, that is not true at all," said the person, who spoke anonymously because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter. "That doesn't mean that [Sterling] wouldn't have read something like that into it.

"But if they interpreted it that way that is wrong and there is no thought of lifting the lifetime ban or the fine being rescinded."

So he is threatening the League because he is mad they are forcing him to sell and still banning him for life.

Sterling pulling the "deal" is on the NBA this time. He was ready and willing to sell the team with one stipulation...lift the lifetime ban he recieved from the NBA. I think that was pretty reasonable offer. All he wants is the oppurtunity to sit in a suite and be able to watch an NBA game in the future and the NBA said no. That is a dumb move by the NBA!! They got what they wanted...for him to sell the team. Let the man live out his dementia years in peace. The NBA is being the judge, jury and executioner waaaaaay overboard in this matter. They are now going to have to fight this in court and for this circus to be drug out. Talk about forgive and forget. The NBA is displaying equally offensive hatred by their actions. Just lift the lifetime ban and he goes away.
