David Geffen: I Would Very Much Like To Buy The Clippers
http://www.forbes.com/sites/ryanmac...n-i-would-very-much-like-to-buy-the-clippers/
The NBA’s ban of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is only a few hours old, but there is already one billionaire who says he is interested in buying the basketball franchise.
Media mogul David Geffen told Forbes Tuesday that he “would very much like to buy the team” if the league compels Sterling to sell the Clippers. Geffen, who has an estimated net worth of about $6.2 billion, did not otherwise comment on the situation other than to affirm his interest in a team he has long coveted.
Geffen’s opportunity may come if NBA Commissioner Adam Silver can convince the league’s Board of Governors to force a sale of the team following Sterling’s racist remarks which were previously recorded and published last week by TMZ. Earlier Tuesday, the NBA fined Sterling $2.5 million and banned him for life from league activities and events.
David Geffen says he is interested in buying the L.A. Clippers from the embattled Donald Sterling.
