that he talked to Donald Sterling before Adam Silver meted out his lifetime ban punishment for the racist remarks he made to his former girlfriend that were
taped and said he will not sell the team.
While Grey
was describing how the owners could force Donald
Sterling to sell the team he said this: Grey: A three quarter vote by the Board of
Governors, by the teams that are in the NBA.
If
he doesn't comply they can start making all of
his players free agents.
The bottom line here is
that they can make it so miserable, ostracize
him, put him as a pariah that he is and it will be impossible for him to operate.
They don't have
to schedule preseason games, no one will play
him.
It's going to be very, very difficult for him
to continue and it looks like they are going to.
I spoke to Donald Sterling before his punishment, Bill and he said he's not selling the team and he's not going to be forced to sell the team.
If Sterling stays true to his words to Grey and will
not be forced to sell then we are looking at a long
court battle if the NBA owners vote to make him sell
the franchise which he must do.
I hope he does the
right thing by the fans, but that's not in Sterling's
DNA.
Stay tuned.
