There is no way that a billion dollars is not motivation. The NBA punished him by putting a $billion in his pocket.
the old man wants the team for his ego not money he has no years left to spend despite what the initial purchase was intended. he could have already banked it before if thats what mattered. its a nice consolation prize, however.
Agreed. He had more money than he could spend before this all went down and if he does have cancer added to his age, there is little point. The Clippers WERE his personal and ego swag. It's what defined him and they were his calling card. I suppose it could be a backdoor money motivation in terms of saying, "If you are going to take my team, I will make you pay". But that's not the same thing as him trying to drive the value up for profit.
Its too bad he has decided not to fight. It would have been the best thing on Court TV since the OJ trial
