AP Source: Donald Sterling hires investigators

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ap-source-donald-sterling-hires-040356789--nba.html

A person with knowledge of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling's legal strategy says his team of lawyers has hired four private investigation firms to dig up dirt on the NBA's former and current commissioners and its 29 owners.

The individual, who wasn't authorized to talk publicly, says investigators were given a six-figure budget over the next 30 days to examine the league's finances, allegations of previous discriminatory conduct and compensation to past commissioner David Stern and current commissioner Adam Silver. They're also looking into whether other owners ever made any off-color jokes, or racist or sexist remarks.

--------------------------------------------

Makes sense to me and I thought this would be his strategy all along. He'll be looking for skeletons in the closets of the other owners so he can say - "Person X has said the same or worse. Take their team too...or leave us all alone."

I love it. This is drama and dark comedy. Would love to see David Stern's legacy tarnished. Is he still pulling the strings on this and Silver is his puppet?

Prediction - Micky Arison, Miami Heat owner. One of those exposed.

seriously..this is going to get better and better.

I mean, this could have been a full season worth of stuff for my old TV show.
