Agreed, definitely seems like the right call here and it’s refreshing.

Wow really glad they threw the book at Ballmer and the Clippers.
Would have really lost my interest in the league if they had let this slide since it just makes the richest teams have a massive advantage. Really glad they did this.

Yeah league’s credibility was on the line with me for sure. There was too much shit out already and if they try to paper it over, man I would have been done.

One of the great things about the NBA is that owners cannot simply buy a championship. It did not work for Prokhorov and the Nets and it has not worked for Balmer with the Clippers.
Obviously the inverse is true. Plenty of teams fell out of championship contention because the owner tried to cut payroll.
