Sonics transfer said the same thing.

Really bad comparison.

Yes they did.

Ballmer has done this before, attempting to buy the Sacramento Kings to move them to Seattle.

Just for fun, I dug up this old video for laughs.

Why would you spend $2b and then move the team to a market where it woukd be even harder to generate positive ROI? The Clippers TV deal comes up for renewal in 3 yrs, I think. That will be a huge payday. You overpay to buy into the LA market, not to leave it.

Oh and btw, Ballmer's agreement with the NBA explicitly says tge team would stay in LA. So tgere's that.

But why would he devalue his own purchase by moving it to Seattle?

He just bought a franchise estimated to be worth $600 million for $2 billion. What makes you think he would not move it?

Litigation, yes. But mark my words....the Clippers are moving to Seattle. Steve Ballmer (former Microsoft CEO) just dropped a $1.8 billion bid for the club, and I don't see anyone else matching.

Why else would he overpay that much for an NBA franchise?

Because the owners wanted Sterling to succeed as an NBA franchise. Where they now want to strip it from him based on comments that don't surprise them at all.

This mess is going to go through many years of litigation. Another plus for Lakers fans

Jim Buss lives his life in Comic Sans.

That's funny. I suppose sterling had his thoughts recorded because it was tough for him to read using white font on a white background.

We need a new system of deciding the first pick though... Cleveland shouldn't win it 3 times in 4 years.

Ridiculous.

Jim Buss should send adam silver a complaining email in comic sans and ask that the lottery be revoked. That's how things get done.
