Sterling's lawyer just told me, in Sterling's driveway, "My belief is he will not sell this team."

They don't have a good deal with the Staples Center, until the last couple years they were usually bottom feeders rarely making the play-offs. You can count their play-off series wins on one hand even though they have been in the league over 40 years. They did win their only division titles the last two years, but they sold for 3 times their estimated value.

Apparently, Steve Ballmer REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wants a basketball team . . .
likely an indication of Seattle's chances (or lack thereof) to land one - as this, obviously, will end his association with Hansen's group.

team on the rise, good group of core players, championship caliber coach, top market.
More importantly, you, as an owner, get hailed as a savior that will liberate this team from the shackles of its racist owner, so there was going to be a bidding war for that role.

Originally posted by boast:But almost 4x the price? The Clippers own nothing, they supposedly don't even have a good lease agreement with the Staples Center not getting any of the luxury box revenue. They sold for almost as much as the Dodgers that have a storied history with multiple championships, and own their stadium and surrounding land. Seriously $1 Billion was the highest any of the so called experts predicted and they doubled that.
