As much as I hate agreeing with Mark Cuban, I look at this as one of those situations which could open up a huge can of worms for the NBA owners.
who cares? it's a private league, they can do whatever the want.

why do people care what private leagues/companies do?

Has to be something Sterling will use about this being a private conversation in a lawsuit.

Not especially. He just said he agreed with the suspension and fine. Doesn't mean he'd be fine with taking the team away or forcing Sterling to sell.

Sterling can own it; he just can't do anything with it except sell it and earn money.

Basically, the Clippers are now solely an investment vehicle/tax write-off for Sterling instead of also something to keep him busy with games and "management."

Is the required vote the same to both (a) force Sterling to sell and (b) kick the Clippers out of the league?

I didn't think Cuban said he was against it, just that it was a very slippery slope to do it

Glad with silvers actions today, a person with Sterlings views has no place owning an NBA team

i believe not paying fines specifically will violate the constitution and lead to a takeover/sale
