Sterling might as well sell the team with this kind of punishment. And no players in their right mind will sign with the Clips anymore. What's the point for him to keep the team? He can fight but so will 29 other deep pocket owners. Some say the team Sterling paid 12M in the 80s is now worth close to a billion.
I would pocket that billion and enjoy my golden year else where. But I'm not him and rich people only want things money cannot buy.
The most valuable asset of any sports league is the goodwill. Without it, it's just a bunch a guys chasing a ball for few hours on end. Sterling's punishment is harsh but the NBA simply cannot let this go unpunished for the greater good of the league and not the fairness to the crime.
