Owner Donald Sterling to Sell Los Angeles Clippers?
Donald Sterling had agreed to ink the deal and drop the suit but it is said that he later changed his mind not to sign the papers after learning the NBA would not revoke its lifetime ban and fine.
Donald Sterling said he must fight to protect his rights as he believed that his rights to privacy and the preservation of his rights to due process should not be trampled. Donald Sterling said he was extremely sorry for the hurtful statements he made privately but said them out of anger and jealousy and didn’t intend for them to be public. He loved the team and had dedicated thirty-three years of his life to the organization. He intended to fight to keep the team.
洛杉磯快艇老闆唐納德‧史特林有意出售球隊？
微軟股份有限公司前執行長史帝夫‧巴爾默日前同意以二十億美元買下美國職籃NBA的隊伍：洛杉磯快艇隊。巴爾默於今年二月以微軟執行長的身分退休，不過據路透社報導，他仍持有該公司約百分之四的股份。這項交易由巴爾默及快艇隊老闆唐納德‧史特林的妻子雪莉‧史特林共同宣布。NBA理事會將會核准這項買賣，而其售價則會創下歷史新高。
唐納德‧史特林原已同意簽署合約賣出球隊並且放棄上訴，但有消息指出，史特林在得知NBA不會廢除對他終生禁賽和罰款的判決後，決定不簽署買賣合約。
唐納德‧史特林表示他一定會盡力保護他的權益，因為他堅信個人的隱私權和權益維護的正當途徑不容忽視。史特林對自己私下的言論感到非常抱歉，他因憤怒和忌妒出口傷人，且原本無意公開這種發言。史特林不僅熱愛快艇隊，也投入了三十三年的心力在球隊上。他打算爭取保住快艇隊。
