Sadly, I think the league's actions (which, as somebody who actually followed the Clippers before they got good I totally agree with) is what they were forced to do.
The players were revolting, sponsors were pulling out. By November the Clippers might have been a franchise in the league, but would have no players not now under contract (and those might have either had a league mandated out or just gone overseas), no sponsors and no fans.
