Depends on how serious the players were. I doubt a two year suspension and max fine would have resulted in player revolt, but I suppose I could be wrong.allpurpleallgold said:
I don't think Silver is trying to show his power. He's trying to make sure he doesn't lose the league. Player revolt was coming if he didn't hammer Sterling. You and Cuban can cry about the precedent all you want but if they had lost the players the league was in deep deep shit. If players started sitting out games it would be a disaster that would take decades to fix.
The NBA comes off real hypocritical in all this IMHO. They ignored the Sterling problem for years but once it becomes a media spectacle all of a sudden they ban him for life?
The lesson, as always, fuck David Stern. -

I still don't understand the end game - the NBA can force him to sell his assets?

The players like money. They won't revolt a fucking thing. A couple weeks it's over.allpurpleallgold said:

Silver trying to show his power reminiscent of Goodell coming in flexing his muscles with player suspensions. It backfired on Goodell, my guess is this backfires too. Sterling should sue the shit out of the NBA.
These cock suckers act like peoples lives were actually affected. They weren't. At all

Sven needs to post the NBA by-laws/constitution. According to my attorney, there are some major holes that will be exploited in this case. Not a Sterling fan myself, but this is a money grab - follow the cash flow
You think his skanky girlfriend and TMZ did this for altruistic purposes? -
I'd post it, but they keep most of the shit under wraps because fuck David Stern.unfrozencaveman said:Sven needs to post the NBA by-laws/constitution.

This. The only reason players and Doc Rivers act all fucking freaked out is because they are scared of the picture the media might portray if they don't feed them the liberal cookie cutter answer they are looking for.MikeDamone said:

Doc Rivers and all the players were completely aware that Sterling was a racist before, this isn't anything fucking new.
I am fine with the ban since this dude pretty much was asking for it for a long time. However, I think it is fucked up that he is just forced to sell something that is his.
