Well, that’s an interesting team. Geffen, Oprah, and Ellison.

Combined, they have a net worth of around 60 Billion dollars.

Oh now that’s just delicious! Can you imagine Sterling’s horror if his beloved team went to someone who is not only black but a woman? It may actually kill him.

A powerful black woman as well, not a perceived sex toy for hire.

Of course, I’m sure 700 million to 1 billion dollars will be enough to wipe his tears with.

But still, the irony would be tasty.

Every player would want to play for those owners. Plus, she could haul in Dr. Phil if they experienced a losing streak.

Madame C. J. Walker from Chicago seeks an audience. Oh a conspiracy lovers wet dream.

“Adam Silver said he will urge the league’s Board of Governors to force Sterling to sell the team.”

Should be interesting and probably won’t happen. Does anyone seriously think Sterling is just going to give up? And Silver needs 3/4 of the owners to agree. Good luck with that.

With the Lob City lineup, AND Sterling gone and not sabotaging the team?

Sure, why not?

Any one of them could make the purchase alone. But the idea of Oprah, in part or whole, buying the team is delicious justice.

( I know 'schadenfreude' could be properly used here, but I can never figure out how to appropriate the word. No offense taken for anyone who could rephrase my post and help me out. )

Keep in mind Donald Tokowitz “sounds like success” Sterling paid a little less than $13 million to buy the team and it is now worth $575 million according to Forbes and his net worth now is $1.9 billion (Wikipedia). No fainting couch or big handkerchiefs for him.

True, but he will have to drink in private with the trash. An extreme burden for an egomaniac.

OK, Just watch them.
