    I think either CP3 or Blake Griffin probably will.

    The NBA is so full of **** when it comes to Sterling. There are decades of sworn statements, hearsay, and a god damned lawsuit.

    I'm giving the current Commissioner the benefit of the doubt until he rules on this. But it does boggle my mind that nothing was done about this yet.

    What gets me is that some of these comments were made in front of David Stern.

    Regardless of how much of a piece of **** Sterling is, giving due process is the appropriate action here. Seeing as how Silver is a former lawyer it shouldn't bee to surprising that this is how is treating everything.

    Oh, I'm willing to let Sterling have his due process. But considering that there is an orgy of evidence of his bigotry, I'd be ticked if nothing is done.

    The league may have a hard time doing something. He's an owner not a player. The delay may be due to lawyers consulting on what their options are. It seems whatever penalty they determine will have to be agreed by sterling. If he refuses to go alomng the league may have a hard time doing anything

    I think an indefinite suspension could do wonders.

    don't think the other owners would agree. Someday that type of suspension could be used on them

    To be fair, if Sterling's actions/words over the years are the reason for his indefinite suspension, then an owner would have to really screw up to get hit with that punishment.

    People are acting upset about how nothing has been done about Sterling's decades of racism and mistreatment of people, in general. But, to be fair, none of you were talking about it either. The outrage about the lack of outrage until now is quite amusing considering that no one (including us) did or said anything about it.

    And also, to be fair, there is a difference in reading about comments and actions someone has done in the past, and actually HEARING the person say those things in the relative current. That is why we have such a backlash now. It is something tangible that we can all hear and feel.

    Well the history of racism is important, at least for me. When I heard about his comments and even though I found them repugnant, I felt that everyone should be entitled to say and think whatever they feel like in the privacy of an intimate conversation, however repugnant the thoughts are, and regardless of the fact said private conversation was made public later.

    However, then learning all the history of repeated acts of bigotry totally changed my opinion. This is clearly the case of someone not limiting their opinions to private conversations with closed ones, but someone who has a history on acting on these thoughts towards people. We have this leaked audio to thank for making us aware of these past acts, who appear to be plenty.

    Think they'll try to get sterling to sell the team to the nba but if he doesn't get the price he wants he can sue and its for triple damages so I think it will be behind closed doors and if they can't agree on a price one year suspension and 5 million dollar fine. The guy is worth 2 billion so I'm sure he will agree to that

    Hey! Harden was merely mediocre last night....and they lost.

    So since these games are all close..When Harden is "great", they will win them? Is that how that works? "Stars" win Playoff games? Do I have that right?

    I know they havent swept a lot of teams. I just think the entire east pretty much blows. As much as I hate Miami they are a really good team. No one in the east holds their jock. Id love to be wrong about that but damn if these teams dont suck. Maybe the Wizards, Nets or Pacers get a game. Maybe.

    The Western conference games though have been thoroughly enjoyable. I like watching Portland and GSW. I want one of those teams, preferably Portland, to make a serious run in the west.

    My company has exclusive deals with lillard and aldridge, and klay thompson so I'm hoping for a gsw-port wcw. That will certainly be good for business.

    Sports memorabilia and collectibles. This is us (http://www.fanaticsauthentic.com/NBA) and the NBA is actually my brand so I'm responsible for creating all of the unsigned product as well as deciding what signed stuff gets done. I don't have anything from those guys that isn't in our warehouse, but I do have this Chandler Parsons (another of our exclusives) signed piece that got screwed up so it's in my office.

    That particular piece was numbered as a limited edition piece when it wasn't supposed to so it can't be sold due to a production mistake. However we do offer the piece online and we have others of them.
