I’m so glad to hear this. Donald Sterling looks to have given up the good fight (as if he ever had one) to keep ownership of the LA Clippers. The disgraced owner agreed to relinquish the Clippers to his estranged wife of 59 years, Rochelle Sterling.
TMZ.com reports that Shelly has agreed to sell the team — but only on her terms.
Our sources say Shelly and her lawyer, Pierce O’Donnell, have been secretly meeting with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and NBA lawyers to “resolve the dispute amicably.” We’re told Shelly realizes the NBA wants the team sold, but she has significantly more leverage and credibility with the league than Donald. Her end game is simple — she won’t object to the sale, but SHE wants to call the shots.
Our Sterling sources say Shelly is prepared to sue the NBA and she will file legal docs on Tuesday if the NBA orders an INVOLUNTARY sale. She’s down with a sale but only a voluntary one that puts her in control.
Attorney Pierce O’Donnell would not comment on this story, but did say, “Shelly Sterling’s preference has always been to find a way to resolve this dispute amicably with the NBA in a mutually satisfactory manner.”
Honestly, it was probably best for Sterling to cooperate. I am not sure he would’ve survived dragging this thing through court, you know, with his age and health. 
Hopefully the Clippers can put this ugly situation behind them soon and look forward to next season.
