the fine is a way for the NBA to redistribute other people’s money to left wing causes.
Magic isn’t interested in buying the cross-town rival Clips and he doesn’t have that kind of $$$
Some people are giving this ho way too much credit — she’s not smart enough to set up something like this nor predict this type of outcome unless there was a mass conspiracy with the NBA in on it as well.
Remember, the NBA nixed the Chris Paul to the Lakers deal a few years back but approved the deal to send Paul to the Clippers, which would be against Magic’s interests at the time as he was a minority(no pun intended) partner in Lakers ownership.
Magic sold his interest in the Lakers for 10 Million dollars a couple of years ago, a franchise that is worth well over 1 Billion, so that gives you an idea of how small his stake was in the team.
He has a small financial interest in the Dodgers.
I will bet anyone here that Magic is not buying the Clippers or will even be a minority owner.
His loyalties are with the Lakers, not the Clippers.
It would be like Reggie Jackson buying the Mets.
Bottom line is that Magic is a wealthy man as he invested wisely, but he doesn’t have anywhere near the clout to buy the Clips, even at a fire-sale price of 500M
Although he’s worth about 750M, he doesn’t have nearly enough money to buy a controlling interest in any NBA franchise, even the Clips at a fire-sale.
If anything, she probably used Magic as a pawn in her scheme along with other Black athletes.
Sterling was probably more upset that she was pictured with the former Laker star because he was a Laker, not so much because he’s Black.
As for Sterling, I hope he tells the NBA to go pound sand and sues and that ho gets what’s coming to her.
She’s probably wearing that face shield because she’s afraid that Sterling is going to have someone throw acid on her face.
You don’t pull crap like this on someone with his kind of money and clout and walk away clean.
Not saying that’s going to happen, but she either just had plastic surgery and is hiding it, or fears having acid splashed on her face.
You don’t f*** a guy like Sterling and get away with it, especially all the damage she caused him.
