    I don't think there's much doubt about the vote from the NBA BOG.

    I liked Lisa Guerrero, they panned to her quickly. lol. Wished they zoomed in on them titties.

    Silver just kind of dismissed her obviously lame question that was already asked on Sunday in Silver's press conference.

    Nope. It's still his. He just can't have any connection to it.

    His "wife" (what kind of relationship they have, I can't begin to explain) is involved with the team, as is his son-in-law.

    Damn. He doesn't deserve anything to come his way. Hopefully they sell the team... it probably won't move, but they will sell!!!

    I love they brought in Steve Nash as the token whitey.

    Re: What I'd like to hear Silver say

    He'll clear a billion on the sale. This isn't about hurting him financially, because they can't do it. It's about distancing him from the league.

    To be fair, Sterling has long been known as the NBA's worst owner. All they needed was a reason to chuck him.

    I know that... it's sad, but if it gets him out of the public light and into obscurity where he belongs, then okay.

    Re: What I'd like to hear Silver say

    I have not yet seen or heard Silver's comments, it's been insanely busy this AM, but I get the jist from reading here. Maxie, I pretty much agree with you although the part about letting the fans choose the other LA team sticks in my craw. And it is not just the fans, it's the sponsors. I would not be shocked to hear broadcasters. Sometimes we agree that the market takes care of things.

    Don't blame Silver for being nervous, he's new to the gig, probably thought he'd start out with a nice trophy presentation photo op and maybe another fine for Mark Cuban, instead he's involved in one of the biggest sports and society stories of all time.

    Mozel tov on your Bar Mitzvah, Mr. Silver.

    They only need a 3/4 vote to kick him out. I don't think he's going to have much choice in the matter.

    It's nuts that KJ and Nash used to be on the same roster...both serving as backups to Jason Kidd #Suns97-98PGRosterGOAT
