If he signed the contract, it will hold up in court. I work for a large franchise company. If he signed a contract with a clause allowing him to be fined up to X amount, it will hold up in court.after the league removes him from ownership, what obligation does he have to pay the fine?
I don't think the contracts between the NBA and owners is made public. Well except for this part on deadspin:quote the clause. i dont know why youre lawyering.
The Commissioner shall, wherever there is a rule for which no penalty is specifically fixed for violation thereof, have the authority to fix such penalty as in the Commissioner's judgment shall be in the best interests of the Association. Where a situation arises which is not covered in the Constitution and By-Laws, the Commissioner shall have the authority to make such decision, including the imposition of a penalty, as in his judgment shall be in the best interests of the Association. The penalty that may be assessed under the preceding two sentences may include, without limitation, a fine, suspension, and/or the forfeiture or assignment of draft choices. No monetary penalty fixed under this provision shall exceed $2,500,000.
And if he no longer owns the team, what then?The Commissioner shall, wherever there is a rule for which no penalty is specifically fixed for violation thereof, have the authority to fix such penalty as in the Commissioner's judgment shall be in the best interests of the Association.

Yes it most certainly does mean he doesn't owe them ANYTHING. That's not how things work.He was fined and then banned. Just because he is banned or voted out by the other owners doesn't mean he doesn't have to pay a fine levied while he is/was still the owner of the clippers.
Just because you got kicked out of the bar doesn't mean you don't owe the tab. Sure, he doesn't want to pay it and will probably try not to, knowing it's not at all about the money for either side. But he still owes it.Yes it most certainly does mean he doesn't owe them ANYTHING. That's not how things work.
Not at all. When you sign a contract that involves penalties like this then you are liable for them even if you lose your privileges as a customer/owner/client as a result of the actions that earned the fine.Yes it most certainly does mean he doesn't owe them ANYTHING. That's not how things work.
fucking idiot. Go help the patriots cheat more.Yes it most certainly does mean he doesn't owe them ANYTHING. That's not how things work.
Holy shit you are fucking retarded.Yes it most certainly does mean he doesn't owe them ANYTHING. That's not how things work.
"Banned" in this case just means he can't make decisions regarding the team, and isn't allowed in the arena. He still owns them and is still getting paid.You're making this more complicated then it is Azeth. He was fined and then banned. Just because he is banned or voted out by the other owners doesn't mean he doesn't have to pay a fine levied while he is/was still the owner of the clippers.
Yup, I know."Banned" in this case just means he can't make decisions regarding the team, and isn't allowed in the arena. He still owns them and is still getting paid.
God man. Take the homer glasses off.He isn't even the best PG in the league right now, Westbrook is.
