There’s precedent with the Clippers and Sterling that owners are responsible for how they represent the NBA. Miriam Adelson is at the least bad PR. The owners have to vote in order to force a sale. Would the NBA choose to block it? Does Silver step in and ban her for life before she ever steps foot in American Airlines Center?

    Sounds like it’s already approved isn’t it? Like, it’d never even get to the point where the sale is being announced without a lot of background stuff having already been done including I imagine some sort of investigation into new owner’s finances, background, interviews, etc.

    The board of governors and Silver are most likely already fine with it. I’d be very surprised if they’ve gone public with this w/o this being 99.9% done already.
