Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has reached an agreement with the Sterling family for the rights to purchase the Los Angeles Clippers for $2B.

Meh.

Im assuming you'd rather have a minority of bought it? Magic Johnson perhaps? His money can cure AIDS you know

Lots of big celebs were offering a lot of money to buy the team. Didn't expect a CEO to buy it though

2 billion is 10 percent of that dudes Net Worth!

The bastard is gonna keep the team in LA.

Of course he is. .

Seattle had a team leave 'em cause it's a trash market unless you're winning.

He'll keep the team in LA until their part of the lease for the Staples Center expires, then he'll beat feet and move em to Seattle. You honestly think hes gonna keep em there? He had a grand plan in place for the Kings till the Maloofs told him and the NBA to fuck off and sold it to a group in state.

He's an idiot if he moves them out of LA. They're only worth $2B because they're in LA.
