Donald Sterling’s lawyer, Maxwell Blecher, said that while Rochelle Sterling has the authority to negotiate a deal, she cannot complete one without her husband’s approval.
“She does not have his power of attorney,” Blecher said in an interview Wednesday. “Shelly doesn’t see it that way, and you can read it and draw your own conclusions.” He added, “The authorization letter doesn’t close the case; if Group X comes in with a $2.5 billion bid, Sterling, Shelly and the league have to agree to it.”
Yet in his 32-page response to the charges, a document made public Tuesday, Sterling sounded as if he was willing to fight to keep the team that the league is trying to wrest from him. He rebutted the league’s accusations; said he was being punished illegally for remarks that he did not know were being recorded in a private conversation; and that Silver has not proven that he violated the N.B.A. constitution.
