Evidently, Miss Stiviano/Perez/Valdez/Gallegos (she used 5 different names) is playing him for all he is worth (well, so the phrase goes). She's got her claws into him for $2M, or so, and is seeking more. The "100 hours of audio tape" her lawyer claims she has is a Free Agent right now, and they are trying to maximize Mr. Sterling's bid by sharing just a bit of it. But the way, by going the FA route they can off-set any money she may owe Sterling's wife in her lawsuit against Miss Whoever-she-is. Sterling and his wife remain married but separated.....check with the Dodger fiasco to see what would result of a divorce.
I have no idea if he's a nice guy or not, but it seems odd for an alleged racist to be dating a mixed race black/Mexican (according to her) tart (according to me). The "tart" thing is race independent, BTW. Were she green, blue or lavender....she's still a tart, or worse, for bilking a miserable old guy.
And evidently, according to reports,she's trolled for rich old guys before. I suppose he's trolled for vipers before, too......all's fair in love and basketball, after all.
I listened to this tape today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhT6d5fMhzI
To tell you the truth, she's clearly trying to extract racist statements from him. IMHO. She goes out of her way to. He doesn't quite give her the ultimate satisfaction.
He's indeed icky, a quasi-cretin and a rich old pathetic guy squiring a "hot" Gold Digger, and clearly he has some insecurities.
If the tape above is the big deal, then I think he's a weakling and an incredible "maroon" (as Bugs Bunny would say). But I don't see a guy in a white robe and hood.
I'll gladly reconsider if there is worse stuff in the other 99 hours and 50 minutes of tape (which would probably require us to take a shower after listening to) but here I see a miserable character trapped by a miserable vulture, caught in a miserable phone call. This tape mostly makes me pity him (not just for the gal pal but for his miserable weakness, even more) not despise him.
Truthfully? I hope the league reprimands him and then leaves him to his own cesspool of a life. That's more than enough punishment. That and the FA cash he sends her way to "buy" the rest of the tapes. I can't see how (without more) the league "forces" him to liquidate. Soon enough he will sell the team, anyway.
The horror, the horror.....

( I would like to be excited for the Blazers, really..... man I still remember Geoff Petrie and Sid Wicks. Walton, Lucas, Gross, Hollins and Twardzik.... I loved that team and all those guys: Robin Jones, Wally "The Who" Walker, Herman "Hair"Gilliam, Lloyd "Bottoms" Neal, Corky Calhoun (the defensive whiz). Larry Steele and Johnny Davis + Red Hot and Rollin!" But I've soured on a league that allows traveling on about 2/3 of all possessions and where the b-ball has become secondary to the music video marketing. The old coach in me is still a dinosaur. BTW, Rest in Peace Dr. Jack Ramsay. Dead at 89 today)
