He can't delay it now. He also can't stop it. The sale is good.
He can sue the wife and league for damages I suppose, but he has to prove he was damaged by a 2billion dollar profit.
He's basically done. He'll appeal of course......but if this judgement stands he's pretty much out of legal options.
Now we start Act 2. Shelly Sterling realizes she has successfully rid the NBA of Donald and decides to keep the team and declare herself a savior.
I mean technically speaking she has removed Donald from the trust that owns the team.
I see Shelly as the type of person who just doesn't give a crap and will take the money and live the rest of her life happy. She doesn't appear to have a personal vendetta against the NBA.

I don't think so either, but I can see her really putting the screws to the other owners now if she wanted. She could declare herself the owner of the Clippers now and ask to be voted in as such. She would of course not get the votes needed, and then sue the league for discrimination and holding her now court ruled incompetent husbands actions against her.
She has also has on her side that she absolved the league from any of her husbands legal actions and got rid of him for them so they could save face.
Will she do this? probably not. I'm just throwing it out there because she would have a pretty strong case if she did it.
Its crazy how some people thought Donald had a chance against the NBA.
This wasn't his fight against the NBA. This is against Shelly being able to sell the team. He hasn't started fighting the NBA yet. That comes next.

I don't think it comes at all.
HOW can he fight the NBA? They didn't do anything, hell they didn't even vote him out. All they did was approve the sale of his team.
Unless he can prove the NBA by-laws are illegal, he doesn't have a case against the NBA either.
He's pretty much done. He'll waste more money on pointless attempts to sue, and lose. He needs to just go home.
I don't think she can declare herself owner. Everyone is focused on Donald but the NBA said no one from the Sterling family can own the team. That's why Shelly didn't just assume ownership in the first place.
You are right, I meant to say against Shelly. Once those two doctors declared that Donald is out of it, I know she would win. I still think he has little to no chance against the NBA.

There might be one little problem with the directions that he gave the lawyers though. The judge ruled that he was not mentally capacitated to take care of his own business affairs and the means a conservator will be placed over his affairs. Normally a person's spouse will do that. That means the wife will be able to decide who he can sue and who he can't. I think that judge's ruling all but ends it nowI don't know. Maybe he sues them for damages since they technically got the ball rolling on this with the lifetime ban? All I know is according to the article on Fox Sports, he told his lawyers "to keep fighting on other fronts".
I know he has at least 1 or 2 other lawsuits going on. The dude's rich enough to sue God, so who knows what his crazy ass will do next.
One other thing - in order to sue the NBA for damages, Donald Duck will have to prove he was damaged. He wasn't because the team sold for 12 times more than it was worth, so he have made more than the amount he would have before or after capital gains taxes. In short Balmer paid for Sterling's capital gains taxes so there is no consideration in that area. And that is ignoring the fact that Shelly already absolved the NBA of all litigation and damages brought by lawsuits from her daffy husband.
