The merits. There is a binding contract (the NBA constitution/by-laws), and the league acted within the scope of its authority under that contract.

And those are what CON? It likely is that it would take a majority of NBA owners to vote Sterling out of the league. And I doubt the owners gave the NBA Commish the unilateral power to remove an owner from his NBA team.

It would. A 3/4 majority vote, in fact.

And I doubt the owners gave the NBA Commish the unilateral power to remove an owner from his NBA team.

There is apparently a clause in the NBA constitution that gives the commissioner pretty broad powers to take action against owners who engage in "conduct detrimental to the league."

is the plan to get rid of ALL the white owners, coaches, and players so the NBA can be all BLACK ? just sayin.
