The only person in all this who says anything about Sterling selling at less than market value is you. He’s not going to sell at less than market, and he definitely won’t sell for less than he paid. There’s no reason for you to keep harping on those things that simply will not happen.
RE: The only person in all this who says anything about Sterling selling at less than market value is you.
I’m not saying he will sell it at a loss, but I’m talking PRINCIPLE, not what he would do IN PRACTICE.
Given that he does not own the franchise and the franchise does not want him associated with it, The effect is either to take the Clippers out of the NBA ( Which means A LOSS. who’s going to want to use or buy or watch your team when it is not part of the NBA?), or to SELL the team.
So the question is this — what if some financial wolf comes in and tells Sterling — “Hey, the NBA does not want you using their name with your team., and without the NBA name attached to your Clippers, your team is worth almost nothing. You have no choice but to sell it. Here’s X amount for the team ( where X is significantly lower than the market value had he not opened his big fat mouth.”
Can Sterling do a damn thing about it?
