After arriving at the NBA headquarters, Richard saw the figure of Martial Saint Jackson, and he was also invited to this meeting, after all, the players' union still has a lot of weight and voice in the NBA league.

This incident also has a lot to do with the players, so it is not surprising that the Martial Saint appears here.

"Coach, you're here." After Wu Sheng saw Richard, he stepped forward and said hello respectfully.

In the heart of Wu Sheng, he can have today's status, all thanks to Richard, if it wasn't for Richard's insight, he wouldn't know where he was now, maybe he would have died tragically on the street.

"Well, man, what's the attitude of your players' union this time?" Richard asked with a smile.

"That would definitely be to kick Raheem Sterling out of the league, and we won't allow a boss like that in the league." The Martial Saint said categorically.

Richard nodded, "Okay, then we'll work together this time to get that old guy out of the alliance." ”

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting officially began, and the most powerful group of people in the alliance gathered.

Richard and Stern haven't seen each other for about half a year, and in this short half a year, Richard feels that Stern Lin has aged a lot......

"The purpose of today's meeting should be clear to everyone."

"Although we all know that Sterling has to leave the league, there is still a process to follow."

"Just like Stepping before him......" Stern said slowly on stage.

It is not unheard of for the NBA to oust the boss, at least the Cavaliers owner Steuping was deposed before......

Sterling will now be the second boss to be ousted after Stepping.

"There's nothing to say, just vote directly, just according to the kind of voting method that Richard proposed in our last meeting, it's simple and fast!" Thunder boss McClendon said directly.

Stern didn't object this time, he was in no mood to fight with people at the moment, and he knew very well that he couldn't beat it......

"Okay, agree to force Donald Sterling to sell the Clippers unanimously approved."

In just a few minutes, the results were in, and the venue voted unanimously to remove Raheem Sterling from the NBA.

As soon as the results of this vote came out, Sterling couldn't even sell the team, and the other 29 teams in the league didn't play with him.

Of course, if Sterling really doesn't leave, it's not impossible......

After all, the Clippers belong to his industry, and if he doesn't want to sell it, he actually has the right not to sell it.

But if he really doesn't sell, the league has countless ways to make him miserable, such as not scheduling the Clippers, not paying season dividends, and not distributing broadcast income.

"Okay, then let's decide who will take over the Clippers." Stern didn't want to waste too much time on it.

"At the moment we have three candidates, three candidate teams to be exact."

"The first one is Magic Johnson's team, and they've already submitted a plan to us to buy the Clippers."

"The second is a braggart daddy, and they also submitted a plan."

"The third one is Mr. Ballmer, who didn't submit a plan, but he called me, and you can see that he has a lot of interest in buying the Clippers."

Judging by Stern's tone, it's clear that he's leaning towards selling the Clippers to Ballmer.

Some owners in the arena also nodded their heads, and if the Clippers were really bought by Ballmer, it would not be impossible.

Ballmer, who has deep pockets, is willing to bring a new atmosphere to the Clippers, and if the Clippers can make money, then they can also pay more dividends.

Seeing that many bosses did not express objections, Stern was ready to announce an interview with Ballmer in the next two days to determine the price.

But before he could open his mouth, Richard stood up, obviously having something to say.

"I don't think we can rush the sale of the Clippers, and now that we're nearly halfway through the season, it's better to wait until the end of the season."

"Of course, I don't mean to let Sterling stay in the league, my idea is to let the league take over the Clippers for the time being, and then talk about it after the season is over."

Richard offered his own suggestion, suggesting that the league take over the Clippers for the time being and wait until the season is over to discuss who will take over the Clippers.

Raheem Sterling was a little distracted, and Richard's suggestion was a bit ......

Some take too much care of their league management committee, and if the league comes to take care of it, then all the Clippers' income will go to the league.

There are a number of teams in the league that are in a state of loss, but this certainly does not include the Clippers in Los Angeles, who are far less profitable than the Lakers in the city, but they are quite easy to spend millions of dollars a season.

It is equivalent to saying that Richard is now suggesting that the Alliance Management Committee give away millions of dollars for nothing?!

Does he have such good intentions? It's no wonder there's no conspiracy!

In an instant, Stern had this idea, and he was probably also scared by Richard......

Stern frowned and said nothing, wondering what kind of conspiracy lay in.

After thinking about it, he finally figured it out.

Richard has plans to get his hands on the Los Angeles Clippers!

If Richard didn't have this plan, then it didn't matter to him when the Clippers were sold, and he didn't need to stand up and say this, and then give the Clippers such a big benefit for nothing.

Now the tactic that Richard is using to delay the army is probably to take advantage of the next half season to sell the shares of the Pirates and raise funds.

After all, it is impossible for one owner to own two teams, and this is impossible to think about......

It takes time to sell the team and raise money, and Stern knows that what Richard is doing at the moment is buying time for himself.

For a moment, Stern was a little hesitant, should he agree to Richard?

Seeing that Stern frowned and didn't speak, Richard coughed awkwardly twice, and he felt that Stern should also be aware of his purpose.

Not only Stern, but everyone here except for a martial saint who was a little sluggish, everyone else probably guessed Richard's plan.

"Ahem, why don't you vote on this?" Richard chuckled.

Stern nodded, just vote, anyway, no matter what the final outcome is, he can accept it.

If Richard buys time, they can get a year's worth of the Clippers' earnings for nothing.

And if the vote doesn't pass, Stern doesn't care, and it is also a beautiful thing to see Richard's plan come to naught before he retires.

However, Stern is also well aware that the chances of not passing the vote are slim to non-passing!

……

A group of bosses in the east, except for Jordan, are all smiling!

Richard, the big devil, is going to buy the Clippers?! Thank God, thank God, they finally sent away this great demon king in the east......

It has been almost ten years since Richard traveled east from the Trailblazers, and these eastern bosses have been fantasizing about Richard getting out of the east day and night.

Because of Richard, the East has been quite strong in recent years, and has even surpassed the West, which has also led to the loss of opportunities for some teams that had a chance to enter the playoffs.

At the moment, Richard has a plan to buy the Clippers, and they are completely in favor of it......

Cavaliers Boss, Pistons Boss, Green Kai Boss, Magic Boss, these bosses are already grinning at the back of their heads......

After Richard is gone, the Pirates may be able to remain strong for a while, but sooner or later they will decline, and then they will have a chance.

And Richard went to coach the poor and white Clippers, and it is estimated that it will take many years for the Clippers to rise, which means that the next few years will be their best chance to win the championship.

The bosses in the east were all overjoyed, and they couldn't wait to hold a farewell party for Richard right now......

And the boss of the West is starting to frown, Richard was a nightmare for the teams in the West when he was in the West before, and now that Richard is coming back, it's no wonder they can be happy.

The owners of several teams are already ready to play dumb and act as if they don't know that Richard has a plan to buy the Clippers, and then vote against it in a short vote......

"Let's start voting." Stern presided over the next vote.

What made Richard laugh and cry was that the bosses in the east all voted in favor......

"How much do these bosses want me to leave the East......" Richard thought speechlessly.

On the western side, Richard still has a lot of allies, and Paul Allen, Golden Dragon, McClendon and several others must all support Richard's proposal.

The results do not need to be counted to know that Richard's proposal is passed.

For the remainder of the season, the Clippers will be temporarily managed by the league, and after the season is over, the league will choose a successor for the Clippers based on the situation.

……

The owners of several teams in the West sighed, although Richard may not really be able to buy the Clippers, after all, there are strong competitors like Ballmer at the moment, but even if there is only a small hope, it is enough for them to have a headache.

Thinking about the fear of being dominated by Richard ten years ago, these Western bosses are in pain......

Now the plan can only take advantage of Richard's inability to compete for the championship in recent years, and then build a super squad as much as possible, and then impact the championship.

Let's grab a championship first, and when Richard finishes building the Clippers, it won't be so easy to win the championship.

……

Richard breathed a sigh of relief, his plan was considered to have succeeded for two more points, and now it has succeeded seventy percent, and the last three achievements are the link of the competition for financial resources.

Next, I will lead the pirate team to win the championship wholeheartedly, let the pirates win the feat of four consecutive championships, and make the careers of Iverson and other veterans complete, so that I will have no regrets about leaving the pirates at that time.

This time's plan, in fact, Richard is definitely a last battle.

If Ballmer goes crazy and spends dollars like crazy, although this possibility is quite small, it is not completely impossible.

And Richard's sale of the Buccaneers' stake is tantamount to saying that he will become rootless and lose his identity as an NBA owner.

Richard had a hunch that if this happened, it was estimated that Paul Allen would tie him up and take him to Portland, so that Richard could continue to work for him and help the Trail Blazers build a second dynasty.

Stern looked at Richard and smiled bitterly, he had been "fighting" with Richard for more than ten years, but in the end he couldn't destroy any of Richard's plans, and this time Richard succeeded.

He can also see that having Richard in the league is actually not a bad thing, at least the NBA has gained countless topics.

Over the years, the NBA's ratings have also skyrocketed, and it has become the second largest league among the four major leagues in North America, and he has completed his original goal, and it is almost time to retire.

But now is not the right time, and Stern wants to finish Sterling once and for all.

……

"Smack!" After Sterling answered Stern's call, he smashed the cup in anger.

"Damn it!"

"What do they mean by these sons of bitches now? Can't I even sell the team? "Raheem Sterling is completely anxious.

At the moment, the team is actually still his team in name, but it is only in name, the league will fully manage the Clippers, and neither the operation rights nor profits have anything to do with him Sterling.

Once the league has found a suitable next home, Raheem Sterling will sell the team to the league's designated successor.

Sterling was a little angry and lost his mind, and he wanted to announce it now, and if he didn't sell it, he would rot the Clippers in his own hands.

But in the end, reason prevailed over impulse, and there was no point in rotting the Clippers in his hands, and if he didn't sell it, the league could have opened a new team in Los Angeles and named a team like the Los Angeles Clippers......

This kind of thing is simply too easy for the Alliance, and the big deal is to regard it as an expansion, anyway, the expansion of the Pirate Team was extremely successful before.

If you don't schedule a schedule for the Clippers, the Clippers will play themselves when the time comes?

……

"Damn Richard!" Sterling was already speechless from anger.

He was sure that he was cheated by Richard this time, although he didn't know how Richard hooked up with Stavino, but he was sure that Richard must have done it.

But although he was convinced that Richard was the ghost, he couldn't fight back against Richard, so he could only suffer this dumb loss.

……

The next day, the alliance officially announced the decision of the meeting.

Because the schedule is underway, the league will wait until the end of the season to force Sterling to sell the Clippers, and before that, the league will take over the Clippers in full......

As soon as this result came out, it was an explanation to people in the NBA circle, and the players' union and the coaches' union expressed their support for the decision made by the league's management committee.

Now that support has been expressed, the original strike plan was naturally cancelled......
