IMHO, this should apply to people who didn't freely enter into a contract with the Clippers.

That pretty much limits it to DeAndre Jordan and Jared Dudley, as everyone else like CP3 and Blake took huge money to extend or re-sign with the team.

NBA caved to the pitchfork crowd who wanted an immediate resolution. They should have just banned him indefinitely pending an actual investigation. I think they will regret this in the long run.

Seattle Ownership Group, the NBA and Sterlings side piece all were in on this.

Better late than never. Silver's just taking out the garbage that Stern left for him in Sterling.

I'm just going to say this press conference did not go well at all.

So what if a player is caught saying "cracka" on the court. What happens then?

sterling kills himself tonight before sale can be done.

Is it inherited? can they enforce this against those who inherited team that didn't stand for those comments and views made?

I don't see how they're "banning" him from his privately-owned thing if, in fact, he didn't agree to that in his ownership contract.
His ownership contract does have provisions.
