The NBA is prepping to play hard ball with estranged LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling. Sterling has indicated through his anti-trust lawyer that he won’t pay the $2.5 million fine to the NBA and plans to sue them if they intend to force him out as owner.

The NBA is well aware of Stern’s litigious nature and has a variety of plans ready to execute including disenfranchisement if Sterling intends to keep his word not to sell the franchise.

Normally when a franchise owner is disenfranchised, the owner keep the underlying business.

If Donald Sterling is disenfranchised, however, he and his wife lose the Clippers and the NBA would take over the team.

The couple will continue to jointly own the trust, and the trust will no longer own the team. Likewise, any potential divorce proceedings likely would not affect the league’s ability to transfer ownership of the team away from the trust.
