So does that mean I have to root for a racist so Celtics get an amazing pick? I'm torn.
Sorta. Here's how I'm rooting:
Sterling gets to hold onto the Clippers from this trial, and refuses to sell because that's his thing. The NBA votes Sterling out in September. Sterling files suit to keep the team, and gets an injunction (which he would, because you can't undo a sale really well). Upon being granted the injunction, Doc quits (or heck, is canned by angry Sterling). Team revolts, the Clippers stink, and we get a top pick. Sometime next summer the NBA wins the lawsuit against Sterling, who has spent a lot of money fighting, and the team sells for less than the current $2 billion price since the brand has been damaged, meaning the racist loses in the long run while the Celtics win.
