    Silver is daring Sterling to sue. That's bad ass. Silver wants the fight with Sterling. I love it.

    The Zombie Sonics were built in Seattle. I want the Supes back. You don't think we can beat them? I do.

    Silver has none of the polish that Stern has. He's clearly nervous about this decision.

    Gutsy move by Silver. Forceful, quick, and what is ultimately right.

    Re: What I'd like to hear Silver say

    I doubt they will allow relocation. The Clippers franchise and their fans are victims right now, and to move the team would be a very bad PR move on their part.

    Also

    1. Where am I going to buy cheap tickets to watch the Blazers.
    2. Seattle fans are douche bags

    Re: What I'd like to hear Silver say

    This is a great moment for Silver. For years, he was Robin to Stern's Batman. Today was his bar mitzvah. Today, he became a man.

    The message to the owners and the players? Don't fuck with me.

    Awesome.

    Re: What I'd like to hear Silver say

    A part of me does remain troubled that the NBA Board of Governors will force the sale based on his words/thoughts, but ultimately it is the right decision.

    I think crushing his pocketbook and forcing him to sell via financial pressure would be the preferable outcome, but that would take years.

    With sponsors pulling out, the sale is inevitable anyway, forced or not.
