Wiping away your tears. Or maybe wiping the brown stuff off your nose.

Am I missing something?

Yes, as usual. You have been missing things since this story came out.

You claimed that the NBA was just putting on a show of force as a PR stunt, knowing they couldn't actually enforce their penalties.

They got rid of Sterling before the season even ended.

This has what to do with tissues?

[tontoz]

This has what to do with tissues?

It has to do with the fact that you are always missing something, just as you are with the tissues.

To be fair the NBA was first to point out that they went a different way, instead they dealt with Shelly who had Donald declared mentally not fit to do business as an owner because of alzheimers.
It made everything in D.Sterlings suit not matter because technically he wasn't being forced to sell anymore.

Sterling signed off on the deal even though he vowed to "fight to the bloody end".

And when Shelly first got control of the team she said that the penalties don't apply to her and that she had no intention of selling. She sure changed her tune when she realized she had no choice but to sell.

The NBA wanted to get rid of Sterling. Why would they object to the sale? They basically accepted a surrender.

I wouldnt expect you to get the timing of the events correct.

The NBA hadn't stripped the Sterling's of their ownership yet. They had a meeting scheduled for june 3rd where they were going to have a vote to terminate ownership. The team was sold before then.

There were multiple bids on the team and Balmer's was obviously the highest. What your simple mind can't grasp is that the multiple bids happened AFTER Shelly decided to sell.
