Clippers Sale
ItÂ’s almost over-thank goodness a new beginning about to start.
On the clock. The NBA is awaiting for the clock to strike midnight on Clippers owner Donald Sterling.
Reports everywhere the franchise could be sold tonite, maybe tomorrow. Regardless of the constantly changing story from the deposed Sterling, and the threats of lawsuits still out there, it appears as if a billionaire is about to step front and center and buy the team.
Microsoft CEO-Steve Ballmer has met with Shelly Sterling and B-of-A officials. Ballmer was the money man in the bid to get a team into Seattle.
Larry Ellison of San Francisco, with the deepest pockets, is part of the negotiations.
The Guggenheim Group, who bought the Dodgers, have Magic Johnson as their front man.
LA industrialist Rick Caruso; a group with Grant Hill in it: a Chinese syndicate with Yao Ming, are also there with bids.
The deal will be reached, then forwarded on to the Board of Governors for a vote.
Whoever buys the team gets greeted by the good will of fans, and inherits a pretty good team.
