Oprah Winfrey is part of a group that is considering a bid to buy the Clippers if Donald Sterling is forced to sell. She, David Geffen and Larry Ellison are joining together to make a bid to buy the LA Clippers if the NBA's board of governors votes to force Donald Sterling to sell the team. NBA commissioner Adam Silver wants Sterling to sell the Clippers as part of the extreme sanctions in response to racist comments he made in a recorded conversation with girlfriend. Sterling was banned for life, fined $2.5 million, and Silver said he will press the other teams to support his desire to make Sterling sell. "I fully expect to get the support I need from the other NBA owners to remove him," Silver said.
Other interested personalities are, Boxing Champ Floyd Mayweather Jr, music mogul Sean Combs and real-estate tycoon Rick Caruso. Magic Johnson, Mark Walter and their Guggenheim Partners group in the billion-dollar purchase of the LA Dodgers also are possible bidders. Johnson, who was specifically mentioned in the recorded conversation involving Sterling, laughed off the suggestion in an appearance on ESPN on Sunday night, saying he was focused on bringing the NFL back to Los Angeles.
