A well informed friend, someone who knows an owner and his associates, thinks Ballmer will be forced to sell.
Which I would find very surprising. But he knows more than I do for sure.
I’ll believe that when I see it, even after Pablo’s latest revelation. However mad other teams are at Ballmer for this, billionaire owners do not want to increase the number of precedents for their shiny toys to be taken away from them.
That said, it would be pretty incredible if ownership of the Clippers became a cursed position, like being the drummer of Spinal Tap or Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts. The league was so relieved when Ballmer took over for Sterling, and now… this.
