They didn’t devalue his personal property, he did by drawing bad press. In fact they could sue him for devaluing NBA property, which is exactly why has some form of personal conduct policy that allows them to punish people that bring bad press.
Maybe Buddy but I don’t think anyone thinks Sterling will get a fair vote from the NBA owners, they themselves will not go against being politically correct. If the courts looked at that and saw it as a kind of duress they were voting on, this case could go all kinds of directions.
Not being a lawyer myself, you still might have breach of contract rules at stake.
Sterling has announced at one point, the Clippers will NOT be for sale. I only saw the headline.
