Donald Sterling is no longer the controlling owner of the Los Angeles Clippers! TMZ
reports that Donald has just surrendered control to his estranged wife,
Shelly Sterling, and she is now secretly negotiating with the NBA to
sell the team ... ON HER TERMS.
Sources connected with the Sterlings say Donald made the decision
because he saw the handwriting on the wall -- as long as he remained in
control, the NBA would order an involuntary sale of the team.
So, now, Shelly and her lawyer, Pierce O'Donnell, have been secretly
meeting with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and NBA lawyers to "resolve
the dispute amicably." 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.
