2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

[captainjackson]

[dman14]

[beh235]

Dat ban hammer tho...

 

[japanair21]

Not everything can go down today

But how swiftly can the other owners force him out of the League? How often do they have the board of governors meetings?

I believe this was a setup. Who records convos??


She got him good tho. Always gotta watch what you say

Yo....

Jemelle Hill just sonned Stephen A. Smith.

Julius F. Wrek

What her water jug head say??

In contrast to him lauding Silver for his actions today,

she basically stated that there is nothing to be applauded today; as what he did was his job and that alone.

She continues to point out that the NBA stood by with the knowledge of Sterling's character all these years,

today's actions are nothing but hypocritical.

Stephen A. Smith retorted with pointing out the hypocrisy of the local chapter of the NAACP.

I would move to Seattle immediately. More money to be made there and no more playing the little brother.

A lot of this was answered in his PC. They didn't punish him back and he remained an owner because Sterling wasn't' proven guilty in any of the cases against him (Baylor case or the case with the Justice Department. He settled with the Justice department and he won the case against Baylor. Silver didn't have to ban him for life + max fine him, but he did.  They could've let him remain an owner and just gave him a slap on the wrist. Zero tolerance in dealing with something like this is something to applaud.

While that's nice in all Seattle is not LA, that counts when it comes to free agency

I still don't get how you can ban somebody for saying something in a private conversation that was recorded and sold to TMZ by a gold digger who's currently being sued for embezzlement by him.

Silver bout to get himself sued just a couple months into the job.

Did he not settle in those cases?

Is not a settlement somewhat an admission of guilt?

^^^ The Clippers have proven over the last few years that there's plenty of room for both them and the Lakers in LA and, in fact, the teams benefit when both are good. It doesn't really make sense to move the team out of one of the biggest media markets in the U.S. when its at its most valuable. They will find a buyer that will keep the team in LA.

Doesn't mean he's guilty. He settled. Stephen A. Smith just said this on ESPN too, there's nothing to punish him on.

Not legally. In fact, most settlement agreements include terms that expressly state that they are not to be construed as an admission of guilt. But, of course, it looks that way to most of the outside world.

Exactly. In the court of public opinion, per say I guess he is guilty, but legally, no he is not which means there are aren't good bounds for punishment.

Stephen A on SC with his anti-Paul George hairline going HAM.

I like a lot of what he said.
