[NBA] The NBA Thread

I've been a Washington fan since they were the Bullets, which I'm told makes me borderline masochist.
I'm in North Carolina, we have some of the best college basketball in the country and one of the worst NBA teams. Safe to say I don't watch a lot of professional basketball.
OKC THUNDER! I need to watch a couple of games before we move.
I really hope Westbrook is 100%. They can't seem to win w/o him, and they shouldn't have let Harden go. I miss the beard.

Nuclear Option indeed. Adam Silver has banned Donald Sterling from the league, fining him the maximum amount allowed by the league (2.something million), and motioning for the the owners to vote to force Sterling to sell the Clippers.
See, Hansen should've just dug up a racist comment made by the Kings' owners and bought the team that way.
There's no room to joke around when you hold such a respected and predominant role as a team owner. Considering that the NBA consists of mostly black players, to say such things, even in a discreet environment is shameful and wrong. These players make you millions.
He got caught, you'd think black players would play for the Clippers with him there? They'll have to go a long way to clean their image even after this turd is long gone.
It has no place in modern sports today.
Actually....
FTFM
FTFY. He's been a known racist shithole for years. Lets not be like the players and sportswriters who are shocked, SHOCKED to find out Donald Sterling was a racist. He got what he deserved.[DOUBLEPOST=1398803171,1398802971][/DOUBLEPOST]
STFU Charlie
I know if you had you're way we'd be dragging him behind a pickup through the streets before we lynched him, but this is the real world, where thankfully people like you don't have the power to make everything fair by having everyone live in squalor, but this is the real world. The NBA does not thankfully have the power to financially ruin a person they disagree with. Forcing the sale of the team is not about punishing him, it's about removing his association with the NBA.
I am in the real world. I don't think anyone's happy a racist is getting a billion dollars
everyone already lives in squalor thanks to this guy, go check out his real estate holdings
Which would you prefer, that he gets the money or keeps the team? The NBA can't just take away a billion dollar entity from someone without compensation. The courts wouldn't allow it.
He may not be anything for much longer. ESPN and NY Post reporting Sterling is battling prostate cancer.
Paul George is almost definitley done for the season from a leg injury sustained in the team USA scrimmage.
This is what happened (VERY BRUTAL)

So much crap going on, but I'm not interested in making another thread for it.
I understand the need for a Summer League so teams can look at rookies and lower-end free agents. What I don't get is ESPN showing highlights when there's a perfectly good baseball season out there. That and Vegas and the UK sports books putting lines on the games. If you're so desperate for action you're betting on NBA Summer League, you need help.
An then there's this kid Jordan in LA. So he didn't sign with Dallas? So effing what? What's sad is this guy's take. It's destroyed the franchise forever? Seriously?
When the press says anything less than 50 losses is a failure, and would prefer 60 or more, you have a garbage team in a garbage league.

Well they like to show summer league highlights over baseball because basketball has the advantage of actually being entertaining.
Also, Jordan could've at least called or texted saying "I'm signing with the clippers." You would never accept a job and then bail out without letting them know. It's bush league.

Not to mention the breathless wall-to-wall coverage of Dwight's indecision-making process. Nothing short of 13 simultaneous no-hitters would push baseball highlights over top of All-Dwight-All-The-Time back then.
