He shouldn't be forced to sell his team, but that's another matter. I'm guessing that I'm wrong but there is a clause in the amendment secton of the By-Laws where it only takes 3/4 of the owners to vote on, change or make another amendment, I haven't seen a lawyer mention the this section yet so I'm guessing that I'm wrong on the interpretation.

It clearly states that a new amendment can be put into the By-Laws with written notice to board of governors and the new Amendment needs only a 3/4 vote. Am I wrong because the proposed amendment would come after Sterlings comments and that fact would make it impossible to stand up in court?

A private conversation that went public and violated the NBA bylaws. If you don't like that, then you should write the NBA.

Thanks, that is pretty much an opinion piece from a lawyer. I will wait for the official statement from the NBA.

Also, what I want doesn't matter. The NBA owners need to vote to see if they choose to run Sterling out.

For someone who doesn't care, you seem to really care.
Oh so that's it...........doesn't make sense to the "mob". lol.

You folks and your cadre are evil.

Nope no bylaw applies to a private conversation, the NBA will learn this in court.
